*CLINICAL CONCEPTS WVEIS Number 0707



Clinical Concepts WVEIS Code 0717

Students will be introduced to safe work practices for the prevention of illness or injury to clients, co-workers, and self. The course includes a study of the basic structures and major functions of the human body and common disorders associated with each body system. Also included is instruction on disease transmission/prevention, standard precautions, OSHA standards, and principles of sterile technique. In this course, students begin study in a specialized occupational area and build a foundation for more complex and correlated clinical practice within Diversified Clinical Applications (0719).
