I am a clinical teacher for Birdville Center of Technology and Advanced Learning. I teach CCMA, PCT, PHLEBOTOMY, and EKG certification. My career includes 19 years of teaching chemistry, nearly 5 years of nursing and 2 years of clinical instruction.
Let's explore the basics of teaching a clinical certification class. It's overwhelming to cover anatomy & physiology, medical terminology, professionalism, communication, safety and compliance, skills, pharmacology, vocabulary, testing skills, patient care, law & ethics AND MORE, MUCH MORE to a bunch of teenagers. What is essential? Where to go for help! How to have fun with this curriculum. I would like to share some thoughts and get your input on what you think. I love teaching and sharing what has worked and failed in my classroom.
