Course Description |
| The Allied Health Technology program is a health care occupations cluster. This program is academically challenging but success is highly achievable. Students, after mastering the "CORE" tasks, move into progressively more specific and/or advanced areas of instruction. The "CORE" curriculum is designed to provide students with the concepts, knowledge, and attitudes basic to further progression in the job specific area. CORE skills are broad and transferable and include the following objectives: academic foundation, communication, systems, employability skills, legal and ethical responsibilities, and safety practices. Students who wish to take a second year of Allied Health must have the instructor’s approval. |
