Health Sciences

The Health Sciences program provides opportunities for students to experience and perfect skills required of today's healthcare industry.  Health care requires a flexible, multi-skilled workforce, capable of performing as a team, being adaptable to frequent change and able to transfer skills to new environments.  Students learn medical terminology, first aid & basic life support, communication & employability skills, safety systems, infection control, anatomy & physiology, nutrition, teamwork, disease entities, ethics and legal matters. 

As a first year student, students will be placed on 50 hours of non-paid work experience at a healthcare facility. This will help students decide what aspect of healthcare they like the most.

In their second year of the program they will specialize in one of the following areas of interest: CNA, Dental Assistant, Personal Trainer, Pharmacy Tech, and/or Physical Therapy Aid. On-the-job-training (OJT) is an opportunity for second year students as well.
