The Health Science Career Cluster is a cluster of study integrating academics, specific health science technology courses, along with a variety of problem–based and work-based learning opportunities. Work-based learning may include job shadowing, internships, and other clinical experiences that allow students to observe and learn from healthcare professionals. Students may also develop their leadership potential through involvement in HOSA, a student-based organization for health science students. Students in the Health Science Career Cluster leave high school better prepared for further education and/or immediate employment in the healthcare field. Health Science focus pathways include: Therapeutic Services, Diagnostic Services, Health Informatics, Support Services, Biotechnology and Research Development.
