My whole high school is centered around health studies ... we are a health and life sciences high school, we've only been open for 3 years, so every year we add on a new class and next year we will have a whole school (9-12 grade). we do alot of job shadowing at Cape Fear Valley Hospital, and alot of health related field trips.

hello my name is just April lol btw
we do trips to nursing homes n stuff and there is some like help line they helped with kind of like a minor 911.

I live in orlando so our schools are big we have 3,500 kids at our school and the medical academy has like 150 students

curriculum:
our school also has a buisness academy so all our core classes(English, Bio, History etc)are medical buisness academy classes made of only academy students they arnt different the stay students. then for elective freshman year you take Latin 1(since medical terminology is latin based) and all MA health, sophmore is sports med MA only and Latin 2, Junior is MA Health science and other elective, and senior is free for all but u have advised electives like AP psyc
I am certified in 1st aid and CPR but that was in MS but the academy certifies u in CPR through sports med sophmore year

Auntietori05- my brother is going to UNC chapel hill my mother is alumni i'm in Ashville with my grand parents this week
GO TARHEELS!!!!

Hi Auutietori05,
Thats sooo neat!!! So do you also have like chem and history and maths???

Hi !!
umm... yelp we have it designed so that we take all of our core high school classes during our freshmen and sophmore year so we can take college classes during our junior and senior year at a community college near by. But still as a senior and junior we have a few high school classes left. During our senior year we only have one class each semester at the high school and all of our other classes will be at the college. It is really cool... it has its goods and bads about it, but its a new school so... i guess thats alright.

Hi Auntietori05,
That is like wayyyyy different from our school!! I think we may have that type of program though for some!

If there is anyone out there that has club or program even any after school programs that have to do with some medical stuff please post, i am looking for new ideas to change an old club!!

My school doesn't have anything like that, but there is a magnet school nearby for medicine. I'm jealous of them.

Thats what we had before in my school. Actually I am pretty sure you don't have forensic science. Is anatomy and physiology a class or is it something else??

Yes, it's a class. And what do you mean about forensic science? I'm pretty sure we do have it.

Hey Mike,
uh.. i see, why don't you just transfered? or you can do what i am doing and fix something. In many high schools around York there is a time where we don't do anything, so thats why we have clubs. the teachers can make clubs from flag football to medical sports and stuff, tell teachers about it and let it spread.

opps, sorry jessandacrouton,
i was prolly doing two things at once!!!
i meant, i am pretty sure that my school doesn't even have forensic science.
....it is a bad habit, doing many things at once!!
sorry!

really? thats crazy
the only prob is you can't take everything you have to pick and choose which is hard.

Hi April,
wow!!! thats a lot of kids!!! are you hallways jammed all the time??
cool....i am certified in 1st aid and CPR too.

well yes we do get quite the traffic jams but we also have a big school we have 2 campuses.
But it also makes it much more fun!

hahahahahha...it evens out! that good!!
i almost forgot to add ggreat news!! we are both going to dc!!
