Community Healthcare Practicum
Current Students: for assignments, lectures, videos, and handouts visit the Google Classroom site (link posted below)
The Community Healthcare Practicum follows Introduction to Healthcare, and Sports Medicine or Anatomy/Physiology. There will be various practicum site opportunities for students to choose from that will provide them with a global view of today’s healthcare environment. Students will also be exposed to potential career opportunities, advanced training, and higher education options. Students entering this class will be required to meet the medical employment standards, and to fulfill clinical hours outside of class. Placement opportunities are limited by the site, not PRHS. Students will earn up to 6 Industry Certifications: American Red Cross Basic Life Support and First Aid, Career Safe OSHA-10 (Healthcare), Career Safe Bloodborne Pathogens (Healthcare), Career Safe HIPAA, National Emergency Communications Certification (Emergency/911 Dispatch), and beginning in 2022-23, the Patient Care Technician/Assistant Certification.
