Biomedical Science & Allied Health

The Biomedical Science and Allied Health career program is designed to prepare students for a wide range of healthcare careers. The Biomedical Sciences (BS) program offers a sequence of courses aligned with national learning standards, employing a hands-on, real-world problem-solving approach. Students explore the concepts of human medicine and delve into topics such as physiology, genetics, microbiology, and public health. Through various activities, students examine the processes, structures, and interactions of the human body, often taking on the role of biomedical professionals. They also investigate the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, collaborating to design innovative solutions to modern health challenges, like fighting cancer with nanotechnology. The program emphasizes the development of teamwork, communication, organizational, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills. The BS courses complement traditional science courses and provide a foundation for STEM-centered or specialized academies. A strong focus on cardiology prepares students to qualify for certification as an Electrocardiograph Technician (EKG).

 

Students in the Biomedical Science and Allied Health program gain hands-on experience in the concepts of human medicine, with a particular focus on cardiology. The curriculum is designed to provide a deep understanding of cardiac care, including EKG technology and the treatment of cardiac diseases. Students will develop essential skills for healthcare careers, including critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. The program also prepares students to pursue further education in the biomedical sciences or allied health fields.
