Innovations in Medicine & Biotechnology Program
Through this unique partnership with Columbus State Community College (CSCC), the PAST Foundation, and industry professionals, students from Upper Arlington have the opportunity to develop their knowledge, abilities, and skills for high-demand jobs in the medical profession. The
Innovations in Medicine & Biotechnology Program exposes students to subjects like biology, chemistry and anatomy to build foundational knowledge and skills for future professions in the medical field, foster confidence and engagement, and provide hands-on experiences for students.
This program blurs the lines between high school, college, and career to prepare students for careers in the medical profession. Students will simultaneously earn high school and 17 college credits through Columbus State Community College. Upon completion of all courses, students will earn the Clinical Laboratory Assisting Certificate. This certificate shows that students have the essential skills and training in clinical laboratory techniques and procedures, preparing them for entry-level positions in various medical settings.
The Innovations in Medicine & Biotechnology Program experience fits into the equivalent of a two-period block, leaving plenty of time to take other courses and explore your interests. The MicroSchool is structured over two-years including the following courses:
