Magnet Students!

The Northeast Health Science Magnet Program introduces students to the various occupations found in the health care field. The program provides opportunities for students to learn the basic skills used by entry-level health care assistants. Students apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, health office management skills, basic assessment procedures, medical mathematics, and technical communications necessary to provide patient care in a variety of health care settings. Instruction includes classroom discussions, demonstrations, practice laboratory activities, and internships at a local hospital center, in medical office and clinic setting. Students who complete the entire program successfully qualify to take the Georgia State certification examination to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). At the completion of the course, students may continue their health care education in postsecondary programs at colleges and private institutions or seek entry-level employment.
