Health Occupations

Health Occupations is a program designed to expose students to various allied healthcare career pathways.  This introductory course will provide students with skills and medical knowledge common among many allied healthcare professions. Students will study specific allied healthcare professions, medical terminology, legal and ethical issues, and body systems. The practical component will allow students to practice basic nursing skills, focusing on vital signs, ambulation, bed making, infection control, and introduction to patient care. CPR and First Aid training will culminate with certification for each skill.

Through completing the Health Occupations Program students will complete a clinical experience at a local healthcare facility and have a chance to earn their RI Nursing Assistant’s license giving them a wealth of professional knowledge and experience, preparing them for the next step on their journey to a medical career.
