Health Science students study the skills common to specific health-career topics and study medical terminology, basic anatomy/physiology, disease processes, infection control, and components for wellness and healthy lifestyle. In addition, students study the role of the healthcare worker, effective communication skills, and the legal and ethical standards within the healthcare industry. Second-year students will be placed in an actual clinical setting where they are prepared for the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification or work toward a Central Service Technician certificate that focuses on Surgical Instrumentation. Students participate in a variety of other experiences such as nursing, lab testing, obstetrics, imaging, physical therapy, surgery, medical offices or extended care.
