School of Allied Health Sciences Dean: Reed M. Stringham, Jr. Associate Dean: Leola Davidson Associate Dean: Phil M. Smith Location: Building 3, Room 311 Telephone: 626-7117 The Weber State College School of Allied Health Sciences, in cooperation with affiliated hospitals and other departments of the College, offers an expanding program for the education and training of health care workers. The programs emphasize an integration of basic sciences, liberal arts and clinical experiences which enable the graduates to make a maximum contribution to patient care as a member of the health care team. The School of Allied Health Sciences offers programs leading to the following Health Science professions: Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Sciences and Clinical Laboratory Science; Associate of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene and Nursing; Associate of Applied Science Degree in Clinical Laboratory Technology, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Emergency Care & Rescue (Paramedic); Institutional Certificate in Practical Nursing. Through the organization of the health science educational programs under one school, a common core curriculum is operational which fosters the team concept of health care and the integration and application of the basic biomedical sciences to patient needs.

Health Sciences represents a core of courses common to all allied health programs. Courses from the Health Sciences Core, together with the specific requirements of each individual program, are required for graduation. Health Sciences Courses Biomedical Core* 111. Health Sciences (5) Biomedical Core-an integrated presentation of the basic concepts of physics, chemistry, human anatomy, human physiology, and medical microbiology as related to man. 112. Health Sciences (continued) (5) Five lecture-demonstrations per week. 113. Health Sciences (continued) (5) Five lecture-demonstrations per week. Students completing the Biomedical Core receive credit in the Natural Science general education area as follows: l. For the Bachelor of Arts (BA), the Bachelor of General Studies (BGS), the Associate of Arts (AA), and the Associate of Applied Sciences (AAS) degrees, the Biomedical Core satisfies Natural Science general education requirements. 2.For the Bachelor of Science (BS) and the Associate of Science (AS) degrees, the Biomedical Core satisfies 12 hours of the Natural Science general education requirements. Two additional courses, one in the Life Sciences (botany, microbiology, zoology) and one in the Physical Sciences (chemistry, earth science, physics) must be completed to satisfy the Natural Science general education requirements. 3.Students completing only part of the three-course Biomedical Core shall satisfy four hours of the Natural Science general education requirements for each of the core classes successfully completed. 4.For students completing the Biomedical Core and then changing to a non-Allied Health Science major, the above allocation of general education credit also applies. 101. Medical Terminology (3) Medical terms of Greek and Latin origin. Designed for the pre-professional and workers in health related fields. PD120. Introduction to Medical Science (3) Medical terminology, roles and interrelationships in the health care team medical ethics and psychology of the patient. 230. Introductory Pathophysiology (3) An introduction to the nature of disease and its effect on body systems. 150. Introduction to Pharmacology (4) An introductory course in pharmacology to provide the student with the knowledge and skills required in the safe administration of medicines. Designed to increase the understanding of the use of drugs as therapeutic agents. 330. Advanced Pathophysiology I (3) In-depth consideration of disease processes of the cardiac, digestive, immune and reproductive systems. 331. Advanced Pathophysiology II (3) In-depth consideration of disease processes of the pulminary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems.
