Through this cluster, students gain foundational knowledge and hands-on skills in areas such as therapeutic services, clinical lab work, health informatics, emergency response, and allied health practices. Coursework often starts with introductory healthcare science and progresses into specialized pathways that connect classroom learning to real-world healthcare settings. Completing a Healthcare Science pathway helps students build essential skills like communication, critical thinking, and technical competency, while preparing them for post-secondary education, industry credentials, and high-demand careers that support health and wellness across communities in Georgia and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Students enrolled in the healthcare pathways will be immersed in the fast-paced world of medicine through hands-on projects and opportunities in the classroom. Students are eligible to earn multiple certifications that will prepare them for post-secondary endeavors that will give them a true competitive advantage in college and career.<\/p>\n<p>See the pathways offered at NHHS and each course that makes up the pathway below. Certain courses, marked with ^, denote it meets 4th Science requirement; approved by the Board of Regents. Courses marked with &gt;&gt; earn embedded credit upon completion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pathway Courses Offered<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Biotechnology Research &amp; Development \u1d34<\/p>\n<p>25.52100\u00a0 Introduction to Healthcare Science 25.57000<\/p>\n<p>Essentials of Biotechnology ^<\/p>\n<p>25.56900\u00a0 Applications of Biotechnology ^<\/p>\n<p><em>Capstone Experience:\u00a0 WBL Internship <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Allied Health &amp; Medicine \u1d34<\/p>\n<p>25.52100\u00a0 Introduction to Healthcare Science<\/p>\n<p>25.44000\u00a0 Essentials of Healthcare \u00ab<\/p>\n<p>25.43700\u00a0 Allied Health &amp; Medicine<\/p>\n<p><em>Capstone Experience:\u00a0 WBL Internship <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Emergency Medical Responder \u1d34<\/p>\n<p>25.52100\u00a0 Introduction to Healthcare Science<\/p>\n<p>25.44000\u00a0 Essentials of Healthcare \u00ab<\/p>\n<p>25.45000\u00a0 Emergency Medical Responder<\/p>\n<p><em>Capstone Experience:\u00a0 WBL Internship<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Therapeutic Services-Sports Medicine \u1d34<\/p>\n<p>25.52100\u00a0 Introduction to Healthcare Science<\/p>\n<p>25.44000\u00a0 Essentials of Healthcare \u00ab<\/p>\n<p>25.44600\u00a0 Sports Medicine ^<\/p>\n<p><em>Capstone Experience:\u00a0 WBL Internship<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jrja1khe-97651ec8cd97fd327011a2c3dc94c3f5\">\n.avia-image-container.av-jrja1khe-97651ec8cd97fd327011a2c3dc94c3f5 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-jrja1khe-97651ec8cd97fd327011a2c3dc94c3f5 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-jrja1khe-97651ec8cd97fd327011a2c3dc94c3f5 av-styling- av-img-linked avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-1030x796.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-1030x796.png 1030w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-768x594.png 768w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-705x545.png 705w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare.png 1238w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='Healthcare'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-6064 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-6064 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-300x232.png\" alt='' title='Healthcare'  height=\"232\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-1030x796.png 1030w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-768x594.png 768w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare-705x545.png 705w, https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Healthcare.png 1238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1054","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1054"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6443,"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1054\/revisions\/6443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhhs.hallco.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
