Build Your Foundation for a Career in Health Care
Human Body for Health Careers
The study of the human body and its
systems is the first course in any Health
Careers program. Careers in nursing,
physical therapy, surgical technology,
medical assisting, sports rehabilitation
and personal training are a few careers
that require a solid understanding of the
human body. College level Anatomy and
Physiology encompasses a vast body of
knowledge causing many students to be
overwhelmed and easily discouraged.
This course offers an introduction to the
human body, provides an understanding of
body systems and lays the foundation for
more detailed anatomy courses. Strongly
recommended for anyone considering
applying to a health career program.
