The Medical Professions pathway will introduce students to the vast realm of medical science concepts. In this career pathway, students will explore biomedical technologies, medical interventions, pharmacology, laboratory skills and safety procedures, proper application of scientific methodology, research skills, healthcare practices, interpersonal interactions, current research topics in medicine, and much more! Courses also include practice and development of professional communication skills and behaviors that will contribute to students' future success in the workplace.
Through the use of project-based instructional techniques, students will engage in research, project planning, product design, and professional communication with local healthcare and medical professionals. This career pathway offers students the unique opportunity to explore their own personal interests as they explore the amazing and multi-faceted world of medical science careers. All coursework is designed to prepare students for future educational pursuits, but even more importantly, prepare them to successfully enter the workplace.
