Course Description

• Introduction to Health Science Technology is a
  course designed to inform students about the
  various aspects of health care and the health
  care industry.
• Health care is evolving daily to respond to new
  knowledge as it is gathered. Research is finding
  new information that may be the cure or
  successful treatment for many of our health care
  concerns. Technological innovations are announced
  in the news each day. Health care workers of the
  future will need to be able to find, evaluate,
  and use new information and treatment techniques.

  Knowledge, Anatomy Physiology, and Career

  unit provides a sampling of information about the
  jobs, knowledge, and skills in each cluster area.
