New Lourse Otfered This year a new course, Introduc- tion to Health Occupations, has been introduced at Burns. It is a semester course designed especially for soph- omores so that they may later enroll in Health Occupations I and II as ju- niors and seniors. The objectives of this class are to give students a chance to see what career opportunities are available in the health field. Also to help students recognize their consumer roles in the health industry, and to let them see if they would like to further their edu- cation in the Health Occupations I and II classes. When students take HO II they begin to start the actual work. Mrs. Jenkins, a registered nurse, takes the students to such health- related places as dentists’ and doc- tors’ offices and public and mental health clinics. There, the students watch the doctors and nurses at work - to gain insight on their jobs. Later in the year, the HO II students go to Cleveland Memorial Hospital where they are able to put to use the skills they have learned.
