Cindy Griner, RN, B.S.N. Phone: 229.225.5050 Ext 197 cgriner@tcjackets.net Cluster: Pathway: Essentials of Healthcare Course Syllabus 2015-2016 Health Science Therapeutic Services – Patient Care Course Description: Anatomy and Physiology is a vital part of most healthcare post-secondary education programs. The Essentials of Healthcare is a medical-focused anatomy course addressing the physiology of each body system, along with the investigation of common diseases, disorders and emerging diseases. The prevention of disease and the diagnosis and treatment that might be utilized are addressed, along with medical terminology related to each system. This course provides an opportunity to demonstrate technical skills that enforce the goal of helping students make connections between medical procedures and the pathophysiology of diseases and disorders. The pre-requisite for this course is Introduction to Healthcare. Course of Study: Topic: Employability Skills Basic Structure and Function of the Human Body Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Integumentary System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Cardiovascular System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Respiratory System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Muscular/Skeletal System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Urinary System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Reproductive System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Nervous System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Endocrine System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Digestive System Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Lymphatic System Standards: HS-EHS-1 HS-EHS-2 HS-EHS-3 HS-EHS-4 HS-EHS-5 HS-EHS-6 HS-EHS-7 HS-EHS-8 HS-EHS-9 HS-EHS-10 HS-EHS-11 HS-EHS-12 In addition to content standards, students will be responsible for showing mastery of the Common Core literacy standards. These standards will be taught using reading and writing activities related to the content area. Reading materials may include novels, technical manuals, articles or other appropriate materials as determined by the instructor. The expectations for each class will be on the CHAMPS board.

Make up Work: If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to request work from your instructor. Extra copies of assignments will be available in the classroom in labeled folders. Because of the amount of time required to collect substantial amounts of make-up work, if you are absent more than one day you will be required to come before/after school to retrieve your assignments. You have 3 days to make up classroom assignments. If you are absent the day of a test, quiz, or due date for a project, skills check-off or any other major assignments, you will be required to turn in or perform the task the day you return. Textbook: Diversified Health Occupations, 7th Edition Students will not be issued a textbook for this class, but one will be available for classroom use. Classroom Rules/Conduct: In addition to specific Healthcare Science Policies, all TCCHS Policies will be followed, please see the Student Handbook. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. 2. 3. 4.
