If a career in medicine is in your future, this dual credit course
is for you. Students will develop an understanding of medical
terminology by breaking related words into prefixes, root
words, and suffixes. You will become familiar with the
operative, diagnostic, therapeutic, and symptomatic
terminology of all body systems, as well as systemic and
surgical terminology. Be a step ahead as you enter your college
major by having the vocabulary necessary to succeed in any
class.
Transcripted credit will be granted from WCTC upon
successful completion of this course.
Students will work in small groups to investigate a
community health issue. They will propose, develop, and
participate in service learning to address the identified
concern. Through this process, the students will compile
evidence of concepts and skills gained over 3-4 years in a
portfolio format of their choice framed by the Healthcare
Academy Essential Questions.
A presentation to
community healthcare professionals and school
personnel will culminate the experience.
