Health and Biosciences

Career and Technical Education programs in the Health and Biosciences Cluster focus on preparing dedicated professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue challenging and rewarding careers and further education. These programs require students to apply knowledge learned in science and mathematics to professions in the Health and Biosciences field. These careers are among the fastest growing and highest in demand in the country as the population ages and health care needs continue to increase. Students are prepared for positions in direct patient care settings, research and laboratory facilities as well as for opportunities in business and management related to health care.  These programs also provide career development experiences for students who want to pursue careers in medical professions such as physicians, research scientists, nurses, and other exciting careers. Students have the opportunity to participate in various activities and competitions outside of the classroom through membership in the SkillsUSA student organization.
