Health Science

Change Lives, Save Lives

The West Valley Health Science pathway offers an exciting and comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for future success in the field of healthcare. With a focus on sports therapy, anatomy & physiology, health, and nutrition, we provide students with a well-rounded education in the fundamental aspects of health science.

Our health courses cover a wide range of topics, including mental health, disease prevention, and health promotion. Students learn how to make informed decisions about their well-being and develop strategies to lead healthy lives.

In our sports therapy courses, students learn how to assess, prevent, and treat sports-related injuries. Through hands-on training and practical exercises, they develop the skills necessary to support athletes and individuals in their recovery and performance enhancement.

Anatomy & physiology courses delve into the intricate workings of the human body. Students explore the structure and functions of various systems, organs, and tissues, gaining a deep understanding of the body's mechanisms and its interconnections.

Nutrition plays a crucial role in overall health, and our program provides students with a solid foundation in this field. They learn about the science of nutrition, dietary requirements, and how to develop personalized meal plans for themselves and others.

Students will gain the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to pursue careers in sports therapy, healthcare, nutrition, and more.
