Medical Technologies (TPT4C)

Biology (SBI3C)
This course focuses on the processes involved in biological systems. Students will learn concepts and theories as they conduct investigations in the areas of cellular biology, microbiology, animal anatomy and physiology, and environmental science. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of concepts, and on the skills needed fore further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields.
Prerequisite: Grade Ten Science (Academic or Applied)

Chemistry (SCH4C)
This course introduces students to the concepts that form the basis of modern chemistry. Student will study qualitative analysis, quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, organic chemistry and electrochemistry, and chemistry as it relates to the quality of the environment. Students will employ a variety of laboratory techniques, develop skills in data collection and scientific analysis, and communicate scientific information using appropriate terminology. Emphasis will be placed on the role of chemistry in daily life in the development of new technologies and products.
Prerequisite: Grade Ten Science (Academic or Applied)

Medical Technologies (TPT4C)
This course focuses on human physiology, pathology, and immunology. Students will learn about accepted medical care practices, current technological advances in health care, and how to perform various procedures and use tools and equipment in the field of health care. Students will also design solutions to common medical and health care problems, investigate career opportunities, and examine laws and safety standards in the health care industry and the impact of this industry on the environment.
