Health Professions and HOSA
HOSA website
Health Professions offers students opportunities to explore careers in health care, and this program helps students decide if a career in health care is for them. Health Professions I may be taken by sophomores, juniors, or seniors. Health Professions I or anantomy & physiology is the prerequisite for the advanced class. The advanced class is for seniors only and encompasses a first responder course and the certified nursing assistant program.
HOSA, Health Occupations Students of America, is the student organization for students interested in health careers. This club is opened to all students in the high school who are interested in a career in health care. HOSA is not limited to students in the health professions classes. HOSA is the fastest growing student organization in the high schools across the nation. Hillcrest HOSA is very active at the local level and offers students opportunities in leadership, academics, character, and social development. HOSA promotes realistic career choices and successful employment. HOSA promotes compassionate and quality health care. HOSA offers scholarships,and HOSA looks great on a resume!
College credit is available depending on the educational institution. Students have received college credit for medical terminology, the first responder course, the nursing assistant course, allied health professions, work rotations, and CPR/First Aid. Tech prep credit is available for students who attend professional-technical colleges in the state of Idaho. These students must have an "A" or "B" to receive tech prep credit. |

Health Professions II
CNA syllabus
These seniors continue to explore careers in health care. They complete a first responder course and the certified nursing assistant program. They also complete about 40 hours of work rotations with health care professionals who are willing to work with them.
As first responders, these students comprise the Code Team for the high school. This is an opportunity for these students to practice their skills and knowledge, to serve their school, and to demonstrate that they care. There are three students "on call" a day with 2-way radios. They respond to all of the sudden illnesses and injuries in the high school; they provide advanced first aid, document, and call parents or 911 as needed. Confidentiality is maintained.
Students also complete the certified nursing assistant course. This program is a good stepping stone for any career in health care. Students who choose to seek employment can do so any time during the program.
Students also have an opportunity to complete optional programs such as the physical therapy aide and occupational aide programs. "Foundations of dental assisting" is available as well as the Visions Course which prepares the nursing assistant to better care for persons with developmental disabilities.
This is a most rewarding class. Students can enter this program that do not intend to enter health care but simply want the knowledge and skills which apply to all areas of life- home, work, and community. Also working as a CNA is a good way for students to help put themselves through college! Portneuf Regional Medical Center will assist CNA's with school expenses for ISU programs. |
