CTE Health Sciences
Health Sciences Department
The OHS Health Science Department offers two Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs of Study- Therapeutic Services and Sport and Human Performance.
Therapeutic Services helps to prepare students to pursue careers in therapeutic and nursing services. Upon completion of this course, a proficient student will identify careers in therapeutics services; assess, monitor, evaluate, and report patient/client health status; and identify the purpose and components of treatments.
Sport and Human Performance helps to prepare students to pursue careers in rehabilitation services. Upon completion of this course, a proficient student will be able to identify careers in rehabilitation services, recognize diseases, disorders or injuries related to rehabilitation services and correlate the related anatomy and physiology then develop a plan of treatment with appropriate modalities.
Students in these programs have the opportunity to join HOSA (‘Future Health Professionals’). HOSA’s mission is to empower HOSA-Future Health Professionals to become leaders in the global health community through education, collaboration, and experience. The core values of HOSA include learning, leadership, service, and innovation.
Students in the Health Science pathway can also work toward industry certifications such as CPR (Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation) certification, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) certification, certified clinical medical assistant, certified nursing assistant, physical therapy aide, and certified personal trainer.
