Applied Medical Sciences

Class Overview: 

Applied Medical Sciences is a comprehensive study of Healthcare Occupations and Supplemental Skills. This course explores the healthcare occupations that include an overview of prevention, treatment and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well-being through the services offered by the medical and allied health professions.  Additionally, this course provides students with the knowledge, skill and application to provide immediate care to individuals experiencing an acute medical emergency.  Students will learn, practice and if we are able to this year be certified in basic assessment, breathing and heart rescue and first aid procedures until transport or additional health professionals arrive. 

This class is the first medical  career technical education class you will have at Duncan in the MASH academy. This class is a medical foundation class where you will learn foundational and beginning medical skills and knowledge. During the first semester, we will focus on theory and online lessons and hopefully second semester we fill focus on hands on skills. I am excited that you are in my class and I hope this year will bring some great opportunities for us here at Duncan.
