Health Science Foundations

Introduction

Medical professionalApplied Technologies is proud to present a great way to teach Accountability Criteria for the National Healthcare Skill Standards established by the National Consortium on Health Science & Technology Education. View a PDF file of the National Healthcare Skill Standards.

Our Foundations course includes 10 units totaling 120-150 hours of material and activities. The course covers all of the Foundation Standards excluding Academic Foundations, which is best met within your existing anatomy and physiology and medical terminology courses.

Within each lesson, students complete an online study that teaches specific information about that lesson’s accountability criteria. Most studies conclude with an assessment measuring the student’s comprehension of the subject matter.

Next, teachers use lesson plans and suggested activities, such as role-playing, projects, and group activities, from the Instructor’s Guide to reinforce the accountability criteria within the health care environment. Rubrics are included to assist teachers in assessing group and individual performance.
