Health Science Cluster Cluster Description: The West Virginia Health Science Education Pathways are based on the National Healthcare Foundation Standards and Accountability Criteria which are cross walked with the Common Career Technical Core Career Ready Practices. Through health science courses students can gain an important foundation of knowledge and skills necessary for continued education, training and obtain certification in health science occupations. Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in West Virginia. The integration of technology in healthcare and an increased in aging population contributes to West Virginia’s healthcare workforce shortage.

Program of Study: HE0780 Biomedical Science (PLTW)

Courses: 0727 Principles of Biomedical Science 0766 Human Body Systems* 0780 Medical interventions 0795 Biomedical Innovation (Capstone)

Program of Study Description: Students engage in activities like investigating the death of a fictional person to learn content in the context of real-world cases. They examine the structures and interactions of human body systems and explore the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, all while working collaboratively to understand and design solutions to the most pressing health challenges of today and the future. Each course in the Biomedical Science sequence builds on the skills and knowledge students gain in the preceding courses. Course Descriptions:

Principles of Biomedical Science In the introductory course of the PLTW Biomedical Science program, students explore concepts of biology and medicine to determine factors that led to the death of a fictional person. While investigating the case, students examine autopsy reports, investigate medical history, and explore medical treatments that might have prolonged the person’s life. The activities and projects introduce students to human physiology, basic biology, medicine, and research processes while allowing them to design their own experiments to solve problems.

Human Body Systems* Students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis. Exploring science in action, students build organs and

6

tissues on a skeletal Maniken®; use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration; and take on the roles of biomedical professionals to solve real-world medical cases.

*This course will fulfill the requirement for a third science course graduation requirement.

Medical Interventions Students follow the life of a fictitious family as they investigate how to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Students explore how to detect and fight infection; screen and evaluate the code in human DNA; evaluate cancer treatment options; and prevail when the organs of the body begin to fail. Through real-world cases, students are exposed to a range of interventions related to immunology, surgery, genetics, pharmacology, medical devices, and diagnostics.

Biomedical Innovation In the final course of the PLTW Biomedical Science sequence, students build on the knowledge and skills gained from previous courses to design innovative solutions for the most pressing health challenges of the 21st century. Students address topics ranging from public health and biomedical engineering to clinical medicine and physiology. They have the opportunity to work on an independent design project with a mentor or advisor from a university, medical facility, or research institution.

Program of Study Description: Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) provide basic nursing care. They work under the direction of registered nurses and doctors. Licensed practical nurses work in many settings, including nursing homes and extended care facilities, hospitals, physicians' offices, and private homes. The program also offers the opportunity to acquire a certificate that is recognized by the West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification (OHFLAC). This will allow a practical nursing student to take the certified nursing assistant exam and practicum at the end of 0601 Practical Nursing I. http://www.wvdhhr.org/ohflac/NA/Education.aspx. It is highly recommended that all postsecondary students planning to complete a Health Science Education program take 0714, Introduction to Health Care, as a prerequisite. Once successfully completed, the core does not need to be repeated at any instructional level. Therefore, secondary level students who have successfully completed a Health Science Education program do not need this prerequisite course. *Note: Students entering the Practical Nursing programs should have a current CPR/AED for Health Care Provider or Professional Rescuer and First Aid certifications. **This curriculum is designed to prepare students for employment as licensed practical nurses. The school must be approved by the West Virginia Board of Examiners for Practical Nursing, in order for graduates to meet eligibility requirements to take the examination for licensure in the state of West Virginia. *Any Practical Nursing Module 1 through 6 can be integrated throughout this course. Note: A minimum course completion score of 80% is required to progress to next course.
