This course is an introduction to health science and health careers, and is a recommended prerequisite for all of our health classes. In this course students will learn the basics of human body systems, learn medical terminology and achieve their AHA BLS CPR certification. Currently, this course is only a semester long, and we are looking to expand it with more college credits and industry certifications for the fall of 2023.
