  • The Health Careers Pathway (HCP) cluster prepares students to pursue a variety of careers in health, medical, sports medicine, public safety, and humanitarian fields. The HCP cluster also has longevity, continuity, and teachers with experience in the field.  HCP adds to students' breadth of literacy by including the medical terminology as well as the nonfictional writing and reading that takes place throughout their classes. During History classes, students are asked to synthesize and compare historical health events and the current health and welfare of our community. Students in the HCP cluster are encouraged to attend various events that introduce them to health career experiences through SRJC partnered summer institute programs as well as hands-on experiences in their science classes.  


    HCP Electives

    Anatomy & Physiology
    Prerequisite: Successful completion of Biology
    • A laboratory science course that presents the essential information for understanding structure and function of the human body.  It is the goal of the class to stimulate interest in the biological sciences, which will prepare the student for future careers.  It provides hands-on -training for laboratory and communication skills and applications that are used in health professions, such as first aid, CPR, AED (Automated External Defibrillator), and basic laboratory techniques.  This class will allow students to be informed consumers and better able to make educated decisions in life regarding scientific and environmental issues.  The course emphasizes the organization of the body; systems that cover, support, or move the body; systems that control through communications; systems that transport and protect; metabolic processing systems. and the cycle of life.  

    Clinical Biology
    This course introduces students to required skills and related issues associated with careers in the health and medical fields.  The focus is on teaching the foundations and career technical education standards for health sciences.  Course information covers the history of medicine, understanding health care principles, medical ethics, medical terminology, and the study of clinical diagnoses, diseases, and treatments.  Students learn hands-on skills such as first aid/CPR and clinical laboratory techniques. This course is appropriate for a broad spectrum of students with interests in health professions, whether attending a four-year university or community college program.
