The Hill Regional Career High School Health/Science Program is designed to deal
with a diverse student body with a broad range of interests and needs. Our goal
is to increase the scientific literacy of the students, while introducing them
to health/medical related information and materials. We do this by providing a
wide range of offerings to prepare for scientifically or health oriented
careers, study and professions. Some courses provide basic understandings with
major emphasis on practical application of science to our daily lives. Other
courses are offered at “honors” level; in addition we provide second-year
courses for students who have excelled in the first-year course and are
motivated to go on to advanced college levels of study. Included in the
curriculum are opportunities available for student participation in Advanced
Placement Courses, club activities, field trips, meetings with scientists, team
and individual competitions with other schools, partnership and internship
programs, and individual study and research projects.

Special Health Program Descriptions:

of the program includes a lab working with cadavers at the Yale School of
Medicine offered every other week. The ten body systems will be studied in great
detail.

EMT

Picture

Emergency Medical Technician is a
state-certified course with a curriculum developed by the National Department of
Transportation. The students will learn how to provide on the scene emergency
care for patients as well as emergency transportation. Students enrolled in the
course will work in conjunction with the local emergency rooms and ambulance
services. Students should have a basic knowledge of the human body and a good
reading comprehension level due to the high amount of reading required for this
course. Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be invited
to take the state practical exam. A passing grade on the practice exam will
qualify them to take the state written exam. Upon receiving a passing grade for
the two state exams, the student will become a state certified EMT. (If the
class cannot meet every day, 50 hours of after school class participation is
required.)

Medical Careers

This is a junior/senior half-year course designed to provide students with the
skills and attitudes needed for a broad range of health occupations. Through the
use of media, classroom activities, and guest speakers, students will learn a
foundation of information common to many careers in the health care field.

Allied Health Internship

This is a junior/senior full-year course designed to combine school-based
learning and a work-based learning experience in order to prepare students for
career interests in the areas of health and science. Students take part in a
variety of activities that foster self-awareness and career goals. Students
develop job-seeking skills such as writing cover letters, resumes and
interviewing techniques. After school internships may be provided.

S.C.H.O.L.A.R.

S.C.H.O.L.A.R. is a three-week summer science residential program for Hill
Regional Career High School students entering grades 10 through 12. Sixty-five
students stay Sunday through Thursday on the Yale University campus and study in
Yale's libraries and laboratories.

H.P.R.E.P.

The Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program (HPREP) is a science
mentorship program for high school students interested in pursuing careers in
biomedical science.
