The student's manual covers a 1-year introductory program for grade 10 as part of a 3-phase individualized integrated curriculum entitled "The Health Care System," which includes work study and optional cooperative education. The manual is divided into three sections: Module 1, an orientation to the health care system, which provides an overview of its occupations, problems, and practices; Module 2, eight fictitious case histories which introduce students to the functions and responsibilities of health care personnel; and Module 3, three units of preparation for field work at a hospital. Dramatizations, facsimile reproductions of fact sheets and documents, sample questionnaires and records forms, suggestions for relevant and varied student activities, open-ended problem-solving situations, and vigorous illustrations designed to dispel stereotypes all add meaning and realism to lessons. Each unit of work includes objectives and worksheets. For further information on this federally funded pilot project, teaching procedures, resources, and field experiences, see the teacher's manual.
