Many new middle school health science programs use HealthCenter21 as their core curriculum. These include courses such as Exploration of Health Science Professions and Orientation to Health Science Professions, among others.

With so many health science modules to choose from, how do you know which ones are appropriate for middle school students?

A few factors come into play, including how many middle school health science courses your district has and what topics your students will learn in their high school classes.

Teachers use AES as a core curriculum in introductory health science courses to teach foundational concepts and skills.

Depending on your state, the title of this course may be:

While we’ve created course alignments to some introductory health science courses, we don’t currently provide documentation resources for every state.

However, we’ve found that most introductory health science course requirements are very similar.

So which modules are appropriate for an introductory course? The Health Care Foundations template is a great starting point.

The Health Care Foundations template modules prepare students for entry-level healthcare employment and provide a foundation for further training in more specialized healthcare careers.

Here's how to create a class based on the Health Care Foundations template:

Some states follow the National Health Science Standards (NHSS) from the National Consortium for Health Science Education (NCHSE) when planning their course requirements.

If your course is based on the NCHSE NHSS, we recommend using the NCHSE template in the Health Certifications section to build your classes. There you’ll also find the assessment guide that shows you how the curriculum aligns with the National Health Science Assessment.

Hundreds of health science instructors use HealthCenter21 as a core curriculum in their CNA programs.

Depending on your state, the title of your course or program may vary (such as the Ohio STNA certification), however even with those variations, we’ve found most nursing assistant courses and certification requirements are essentially the same.

So, which modules should you use for a CNA course? We recommend you use the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) course template as a starting point:

Modules within this template help you teach crucial concepts and skills your students need for success on their CNA certification exams and in their nursing assistant careers.
