HEALTH SCIENCES
HEALTH SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY - at Chelsea High School & Saline High School + Clinical Site
Requirements: Grades 11-12 only, Application Required, Full Year Program plus 1 additional period during 3rd trimester for Chelsea and Saline trimester students.
Health Sciences Technology has been designed for students who are interested in health careers at the professional and paraprofessional levels. Areas of study include anatomy and physiology, disease process, medical ethics, communications, medical terminology, career exploration and trends in healthcare. Students will develop skills in CPR, vital signs, safety and patient care skills that apply to multiple health careers, such as Nursing, Medical Doctor, Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer, Physician Assistant, EMT, Paramedic, X-ray Technican and more. The program includes a six-week clinical placement where students will work with patients in long-term care facilities and other health care environments. College bound students considering a career in the healthcare field would benefit greatly from this course by determining their healthcare career interest before starting college. Students who complete all the requirements in Health Science are eligible to take the State of Michigan test to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The CNA certificate is required for the WCC Nursing Program and by other Nursing programs in the State. Working as a CNA is accepted by PA programs as evidence of work hours which are required to apply to PA training programs. Articulation is available with Washtenaw Community College and Ferris State University.
