DIVISIONAL PROGRAMS
OFFERED AT MILES MACDONELL COLLEGIATE

at Miles Macdonell Collegiate.
This course introduces students to the theory and practice of human growth and development, human relations
skills, basics of anatomy and physiology and the fundamentals of nursing. Practical experience is gained in
elementary schools, healthcare facilities, personal care homes and day care centres.
At the grade 12 level, students will make a choice in Health and Human Services programming. They may
continue working toward a Red River College Health Care Aide Certificate along with a High School Diploma.
Or, they may choose to continue taking Health and Human Services courses so that they may graduate with a
regular high school academic diploma as well as a Vocational Certificate, but not the Red River Health Care Aide
Certificate. Both routes offer excellent health service career exploration.
