This program will provide students with internship opportunities.  The course goals are to provide students with health care knowledge on both skills and various careers while gaining work related experience.  Students will focus on completing a Career Portfolio, which will assist them to find a suitable job site.  Medical Terminology will be plugged in throughout the year.  Job site placement begins toward the end of the 1^st semester and should be in full swing prior to winter break.  Students are expected to complete 4-6 weekly hours at their internship site, which will give them approximately 100 job site / clinical hours.  We will also focus on building leadership skills and compete with Skills USA events.
