Health Science

Instructors know the reality; many areas of health education can't be covered with the limited time and resources available. As a result, students aren't given opportunities to explore different avenues and acquire the cross training skills necessary to make an educated career choice within the health care field.

In response to this need, Applied Technologies presents the Health Science Education Series. The two programs in this Series are correlated to the National Health Care Skills Standards established by the National Consortium on Health Science & Technology Education to create an educationally sound, standards-driven curriculum with specific, hands-on skill sets:

• Foundations - 10 units totaling 120-150 hours delivered in a web browser format accompanied by lesson plans for instructor-led activities

• Career Pathways - a high-level, multimedia modular curriculum designed to give students knowledge and hands-on experience in specific career areas; educators can use the curriculum as either independent or lock-step group study

The development is being led by state and national health care skill standards, as well as an advisory board consisting of state health occupation supervisors.

Case Study Videos

Because our Health Science Education products, Foundations and, especially, Career Pathways, can be taught in a variety of ways (modular, demonstration, lock-step), we have begun doing video case studies of how teachers use our products.  The first is complete.  We visited Kandy Callaghan at Nature Coast Technical High School in Brooksville, FL.  We invite you now to watch the video segments on each Health Science Education product line:

• Foundations video

• Career Pathway Units video

If you would like a DVD version of these segments, please let us know and we'll be sure to get one out to you ASAP!

Also keep checking back to the site for more case studies!
