Health Science

Health science core is the first course for students in the health sciences career cluster. Currently, students in both the health care and clinical services or sports medicine pathways must take the health science core class before moving on to their specific pathway’s material. This core class provides the students with a solid foundation to move ahead in any health care field of his or her choice. The topics covered include safety, infection control, legal and ethical practices, career exploration, communication and teamwork, medical terminology, body organization, and basic anatomy and physiology of each major body system, along with various common diseases and disorders associated with each system. The Greene County Vocational Center offers a two year Health Science program to address the frameworks that has been set forth to prepare students for careers and future enrollment in colleges in Health Care.  Students are not only obtaining book knowledge but will apply those skills learned in hands-on clinicals and virtual settings.
