Medical Terminology/Anatomy - Physiology
at
work wearing a stethoscope around your neck? Do you know the difference
between a nurse practitioner and a registered nurse? Would you like the
opportunity to earn college credit while a junior or senior in high school?
Do you like a “hands-on” approach to learning? This is your class! Lessons
will be taught by using a variety of approaches, including lecture and
discussion, anatomy dissection labs, medical competency labs, clinical
rotations, and a job shadowing component. You will master medical terminology
while studying the normal structure and function of the human body as compared
to the disease process of the human body. This course is structured with
an emphasis on anatomy and physiology as well as medical terminology. You
can earn a science credit along with an elective credit! The instructors
and professional health care staff work together to teach lessons that
compliment one another and provide many “hands on” opportunities. You also
have an opportunity to earn dual credit at Indiana University Northwest
in Gary, Indiana and at any one of the many Indiana locations of Ivy Tech
Community College. This course requires that all students, participating
in clinical experiences at hospitals and community clinics, must submit
records verifying current immunizations in HBV and submit a current TB
test.
