d. Teaches Medical Terminology to a level of competency
e. Generates both High School and College Credits (if desired)
COURSE OUTLINE:
Anatomy and Physiology:
Text: Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology. Elaine N. Marieb
This portion of the class is designed for college preparation in Anatomy and Physiology
for many allied health professions.
Medical Terminology:
Text: Medical Terminology-Simplified. Gylys, B.A., & Masters, R.M.
This portion of the class is designed to prepare the student to challenge for 2 units of
college semester credit in Health Science 1101-Medical Terminology at Weber State
University. This portion of the class is integrated into each unit studied in the Anatomy
and Physiology portion of this course.
Case Studies:
Text: HS1120 Case Studies Workbook
This portion of the class is designed to prepare the student to challenge for 3 units of
college semester credit in Health Science 1120-Case Studies in Health Sciences at Weber
State University. Case studies will be integrated into each unit studied, but there will also
be some out-of-class work required by Weber State University.
HOMEWORK
This class is taught as a concurrent college course. Attendance in class is critical to the
student learning process as not all information will come from the textbook. WSU credit
requires 90% attendance to receive credit. Students are expected to stay current on lecture
notes, reading assignments, and out of class homework assignments.
EXAMS



Exams from material covered in lectures and the text will be given at the completion of a
body system or unit. This also includes WSU required testing.
Quizzes may be given covering information in each unit.
A State Skills test will be given in Medical Terminology and Anatomy/Physiology at the
end of the year.
GRADING PROCEDURES: This is a 2 period class. 2 grades will be given. Grades will be issued
using the following grading scale. Grading scale is the same for both WXHS and WSU.
A = 93-100%
A- = 90-92%
B+ = 87-89%
B = 83-86%
B- = 80-82%
C+ = 77-79%
C = 73-76%
C- = 70-72%
D+ = 67-69%
D = 63-66%
D- = 60-62%
F = 0-59%
CLASS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:
Attendance:
Students are encouraged and expected to attend all classes. Medical Anatomy and
Physiology usually require some type of learning by a doing or participation activity.
Textbooks are provided to supplement the instructor’s lectures and other class
experiences. No make-up work will be accepted for unexcused absences. Make-up
work for excused absences must be turned in within one week.
Students are expected to participate in scheduled lectures, career exploration, laboratory
sessions, and discussion periods. Some of these activities may be off of the school
campus. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from these activities.
Papers and Projects:
All papers and assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the assigned
date unless otherwise pre-arranged. No late work will be accepted.
Supplies:
Students are responsible for furnishing their own school supplies. (LARGE 3-ring
binder, note paper, pen/pencil, index cards (for making flashcards) etc.)
HOSA:
Health Occupations Students of America is our student organization. All students
enrolled in MAP are encouraged to join. There is an annual fee of $20 to join local, state,
and national organizations. This looks great on your resume and will offer you many
exciting experiences throughout the year including leadership conferences, state and
national competitions, and social events with other chapters.

Audio/Visual
Video tape, DVD, and computer programs will be used to demonstrate anatomy,
physiology, and concepts surrounding health care today. Any commercially released
video used will be evaluated for its appropriateness to the topic for its educational value
and may be rated “G”,” PG”, or “PG-13" if it has health or medical value. Please be
aware that some of the things we watch may contain some graphic medical material.
The following may be used in this class either as clips or viewed in its entirety. Other
videos might also be shown.

Woods Cross High School
Medical Anatomy and Physiology
Course Syllabus and Policy Statement Verification
The course syllabus and class policies and procedures statements are
provided to inform students and his/her parents or guardians about the Medical
Anatomy and Physiology program at Woods Cross High School.
These procedures and regulations have been developed to assure consistency
in program administration, grading, and course implementation.
As a student in Medical Anatomy and Physiology the student will be
expected to assume responsibility for fulfilling all requirements of the program and
complying with the administrative procedures outlined in the class syllabus and
policies and procedures statement.
Also, with your permission, I will occasionally have students in the class
correct the work of other students. This practice has an important educational
purpose in that it allows students to review assignments and quizzes and consider
problem solving strategies that may be different from their own. It also serves the
important purpose of allowing the teacher to give and review assignments and use
correcting time as effectively as possible.
Verification Statement
I have read the Medical Anatomy and Physiology course disclosure and understand
the student responsibilities associated with participation in this course.
