SCI 101Introduction to Healthcare1
Introduction to Health Care is a course designed to expose pre-nursing students to the current state of healthcare delivery as well as the role and responsibilities of healthcare professionals today. Topics covered in this course include an introduction to healthcare economics, ethics, workplace skills, team member roles, diversity in healthcare and career projections.
What we eat and drink is fundamental to our health. However, when it comes information about the relationship between food and health, it’s often difficult to know what to believe. Do some foods really cause cancer? Is there any reason to take a vitamin every day? Do green tea and red wine actually help prevent heart disease? What can we eat to reduce the risk of dementia? Will a gluten-free diet help you lose weight? Are antioxidants and probiotics truly effective? Anyone looking for guidance from newspapers, magazine, and web sites will often find conflicting information. Even advice from medical professionals is not always consistent. This course is designed to reveal the source of that confusion and to demonstrate why we should be skeptical of medical claims in nonscientific sources. More importantly, it will help students learn how to evaluate the results of scientific studies, to get accurate information about relationships between food and health that they can use to make informed decisions about their diet.
An introductory course that covers the structure, metabolism, chemical make-up, cellular structure, tissues, movement, support, coordination and control of the human body. Students will gain specific knowledge of anatomical terminology and the way in which the body functions as a balanced system. The structure and role of the nervous, sensory and endocrine systems is covered. This course includes lab time for the student to visualize and apply learned material.
The second part of the Anatomy and Physiology course that covers cardiac, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive body systems. The student will gain specific knowledge of anatomical terminology and the way in which the body functions as a balanced system. This course includes lab time for the student to visualize and apply learned material.
An introductory course designed for nursing students. Topics covered include cellular structure, microbes and antimicrobial agents, genetics, epidemiology, infectious diseases and parasites. This course includes lab time for the student to visualize and apply learned material.
A study of the science behind forensic investigations. Case studies will be used to link the science with real world examples. Laboratory experiences involve using forensic analysis techniques to solve a “crime.” Meets Scientific Discovery Intellectual Perspective requirement (SD).
Understanding medical terminology is imperative to the ability to practice in the healthcare field. This course goes beyond general medical terminology and focuses on guiding the student to a deep understanding of the meanings and origins of terms used in healthcare practice and the application of these terms in practice. Teaching methods reflect the encouragement of the student to become proficient in the use of essential terminology and employ various methods of active learning engagement. This course is created to stimulate a sense of competence and personal power in the students who participate. Everyone has the ability to monitor, understand, and develop the language used in present healthcare practices.
Discovering Nutrition is fundamental course in human nutrition. The primary goal of the course is to expose students to current nutritional information, guidelines, and dietary practices to improve and maintain health. Course content includes nutritional needs of childbearing women, infants, children, teens, and older adults. The course also reviews malnutrition issues in the United States as well as throughout the world and concludes with current science on food safety, technology in food preservation, and genetically engineered foods.
A study of the personal and professional lives of women who have succeeded in science careers, within the context of their historical and cultural environments. Political, philosophical, and technological changes affect what science is done, by whom, and for what purpose. Laboratory time will involve projects in the biological and physical sciences, conducting scientific studies similar to those done by many of these women early in their scientific careers. Meets Scientific Discovery Intellectual Perspective requirement (SD).
This course provides a modern look at the health of women of all cultures, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. Personal well-being, avoidance of illness and injury, and the overall health of women is emphasized. Topics of women’s health are covered and evaluated from epidemiological, historical, psychosocial, cultural, ethical, political, and economic perspectives.
This course describes and analyzes, through the lenses of policy and law, the transformations taking place across the United States healthcare delivery and public health systems. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is explored and interpreted along with the importance of accessibility, cost, and quality of healthcare. The course includes discussion of preparedness for natural disasters and pandemics as well as how social determinants of health effect individual and community health. Policy and law-making structures are described in the context of quality of life, safety, and health for all persons.
