    The Health Sciences (Core) course introduces students to the theory and practical applications of tasks related to employment in the field of health science. Students will cover topics such as safety in the workplace, infection control, health care systems, and the vital organs of the human body.

  • Sports Medicine - Year 2 
    The Sports Medicine course establishes insight into careers in sports medicine. It covers Health Care administration, the athletic and sports medicine team, and medical emergencies such as first aid and CPR. The students are introduced to sports equipment, protective gear, bandaging, wrapping, and taping injuries. Additional topics include therapeutic modalities, exercise rehabilitation, and pharmacology. Students will gain useful information about injuries that may occur from different types of sports, including injuries to the head, spine, chest, abdomen, as well as upper and lower extremities. It will also examine the skills necessary for emergency medical response.

Sports medicine has been very enjoyable to teach because of being able to share knowledge that I am passionate about with students who are intrigued to know more about the subject. I believe that educating students and providing mentorship is a great way to lead them towards being successful and reaching their full potential.

I believe strongly in career and technical education because it is a way to provide students with hands-on experience that will make preparations towards being workplace ready.
