Smith, Associate Dean 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 degrees of Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Associate of Applied Science in Medical Laboratory Technology, Associate of Science in Nursing, Associate of Science in Dental Hygiene, Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Sciences, Associate of Applied Science in Respiratory Therapy, Associate of Applied Science in Mobile Emergency Care (Paramedic), an Institutional Certificate in Practical Nursing and an Institutional Certificate in Dental Assisting. 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. In addition, the school of Allied Health Sciences in conjunction with the Department of Office Administration, School of Business, can direct students to those classes which will enable them to acquire both the foundation knowledge and specific skills needed for medical transcription. HEALTH SCIENCES Ann Hackleman, Director 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* <5) 111.
