Detailed information about this program
Medical Terminology requires students to develop knowledge of the language of medicine for use in a wide range of healthcare occupations. Content includes the usage and meaning of word roots and affixes and meanings of abbreviations, that pertain to particular diagnoses, equipment, procedures, and medical specialties. Terminology is applied in detail to describe body organization, explain the structure of body systems (which forms the majority of the course content), and produce technical writing. Career and Technical Student Organizations are integral, co-curricular components of each career and technical education course. These organizations enhance classroom instruction while helping students develop leadership abilities, expand workplace-readiness skills, and access opportunities for personal and professional growth. Students in the Health Science cluster affiliate with HOSA–Future Health Professionals.
