Use project and problem-based learning, clinical, work-based learning, and job shadowing experiences and classroom and lab instruction to get prepared for the health care field.

Employment of healthcare occupations is growing faster than all other occupations. This projected growth is mainly due to an aging population, leading to greater demand for healthcare services.*

This two-year college and career ready course is designed to prepare students for careers in health care. Students will be able to explore many medical specialties and participate in experiences that focus on the specific knowledge, skills and abilities that relate to the medical specialty they are most interested.

Engage in our new Zspace 3D technology that utilizes augmented and virtual reality to supplement student learning. Students can dissect, analyze, and explore human organs and specimens to enhance their understanding of anatomy and physiology.
