Pathways

Why Health & Medical?

The Health and Medical pathway at McBride offers students the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in the health and medical field. Students in will participate in direct and hands-on instruction, as well as real world experiences and presentations by professionals in the health and medical community.

Students will engage in hands-on learning in a lab classroom that resembles a medical office or hospital complete with patient beds, wheel chairs, and other diagnostic and care equipment.

Students may have the opportunity to participate in a Simulation Lab 9 week course at LB Memorial during their 11th or 12th grade year.

Critical thinking and problem solving skills will be learned and practiced with real-life medical scenarios and equipment.

Upon completion of the Health and Medical Pathway Course of Study, students will have met the A-G requirements for UC admission and will have had the chance to earn credit for some LBCC courses.
