Patient Care Pathway: 
The standards for the Patient Care pathway apply to occupations or functions involved in the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well-being through the services offered by the medical and allied health professions. The standards specify the knowledge and skills needed by professional and technical personnel pursuing careers in this pathway. Sample occupations associated with this pathway: Physician/Physician’s Assistant, Athletic Trainer, Registered Nurse, Dietitian, Therapist, Radiologist, Dentist, Ophthalmologist, Pharmacist, Dental Hygienist, Hospital Administrator, Medical Assistant
Biotechnology Pathway:
The courses in the Biotechnology pathway prepare students to design innovative solutions for the health challenges of the 21st century. Students in this pathway learn how to think and behave as scientists who: prevent and fight infections like COVID-19, diagnose and treat diseases like cancer, design treatments and interventions for when the organs of the body fail, and screen and evaluate the code in our DNA to personalize drug treatments for individuals. Students who complete this pathway are primed to achieve (free!) Ph.Ds in science or Master’s in Public Health and beyond. Sample occupations associated with this pathway: Laboratory Director, Clinical Trials Research Coordinator, Forensic Pathologist, Biostatistician, Geneticist, Epidemiologist
 
 
 
Systems Programming Pathway: 
Prepares for careers related to computer science that involve the design, development, implementation, maintenance, and management of systems that rely on software programs to satisfy the operational needs of modern business organizations. Persons with expertise in systems development and programming are critical to support operations like electronic commerce, medical records management, retail sales and inventory management, digital entertainment, and use of energy. Sample occupations associated with this pathway: Computer Programmer, Software Developer/Applications, Information Security Analyst, Web Developer, E-Business/E-Commerce Specialist
