Description
The health science program prepares students to enhance individuals’ quality of life, health, and well-being throughout their lifespan. The health science program focuses on promoting healthier lifestyles physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Students successfully completing the program are equipped with the tools to enter the fitness industry or pursue physical therapy graduate education.
The program affords students the opportunity for experiential learning through various fieldwork experiences in such environments as hospitals, rehabilitation settings, work hardening facilities, schools, and fitness facilities.

Additional Requirements
Health Science Senior Assessment
The senior assessment in health science is not a comprehensive exam but is rather a senior comprehensive portfolio project that requires students to reflect on, assess and document their own academic progress and learning. Specific requirements and due dates are distributed to seniors in NURS 491 Senior Clinical SeminarThis course provides opportunities for a comprehensive classroom seminar whereby students consider their associated clinical experience within the context of provider, patient advocate, educator, and counselor within a holistic, caring framework. The student also has the opportunity to perform as a designer/coordinator/manager of care. Students will integrate previously learned knowledge, skills, and values needed to transition to the role of the novice professional. The course is also designed to familiarize the student with the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX RN). Content includes information for registering to take the exam; test taking strategies and developing a study plan for review of core nursing content. Students will take a mock NCLEX RN exam.
2 credits
Prerequisites: This must be taken in the last semester of nursing courses, prior to graduation.. In order to prepare the portfolio self-assessment, students should keep copies of written course work, graded papers and exams from all psychology, sociology, biology, ethics and exercise science courses they have taken. While requirements for the portfolio vary slightly from year to year, students are generally required to assess several academic products in completing a short narrative of their academic experience as well as complete an evidence-based research paper. Students must submit the portfolio by the due date.
Internship
BLS/CPR certification is required for the health care provider.
Internship placement sites may have additional health or safety requirements that students must meet prior to receiving access to the internship site.
NOTE: No student will be allowed to participate in internship experiences unless and until these other requirements have been satisfied.
Transportation: Students are required to provide their own transportation to and from internship placement sites. Trinity’s free shuttle service connects the Main campus with the Brookland Metro station.
