About us:
The medical profession education program is in its twenty-first year at Springdale High School. SHS Medical Academy was the first Academy in the state of Arkansas and started in the year 2000. The medical program offers six medical classes varying from basic knowledge about the medical field to a college course in medical terminology.
The medical classes offer a college preparatory curriculum with a career theme, enabling students to see relationships among academic subjects, and their application to a broad field of work. Partnerships with the community, and local colleges, bring resources from outside the high school to improve student motivation and achievement.
The medical academy coexists alongside the medical professions program. Students in the medical academy are selected as incoming sophomores. They receive the benefit of taking classes together for three years, and being taught by a team of teachers from each core discipline.
