The focus is on advanced patient care skills, special care concerns, and assisting with medications. Students will participate in two externship rotations in various areas that highlight the classroom learning, and become certified in CPR for the healthcare professional. Students must also enroll in the Anatomy and Physiology Class to participate in this course. Lancaster High School students completing Health Tech Prep may receive credits or be granted advanced placement in programs at Central Ohio Technical College and Columbus State Community College.
