What Will I Learn?

You will be challenged to look at the health science field from a holistic and analytical perspective to provide you with a basis for making sound personal health choices.

By understanding the basic function and structure of the human body, you will explore how different body systems work normally, what happens when they don't, and the tools and techniques used to diagnose health issues.

You will also investigate the range of health science careers and post-secondary programs available in Saskatchewan.
