BSc in Health Science - Emergency and Critical Care in Stony Brook United States | Stony Brook University, SUNY

This program is designed for students aiming to enter clinical graduate programs. It focuses on teaching about common medical emergencies, trauma care, and resuscitation techniques. Given today's evolving global landscape, the curriculum also covers hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction. The School of Health Technology and Management (SHTM) provides a Bachelor of Science in Health Science (BSHS) with both clinical and non-clinical specializations. Non-clinical options encompass community health education, human development and disability studies, emergency and critical care, environmental health and safety, health informatics, healthcare management, medical coding and reimbursement, and public health. Clinical specializations include anesthesia technology, medical dosimetry, nuclear medicine technology, and radiologic technology. The effectiveness of the U.S. healthcare system relies on skilled professionals. Workforce availability directly impacts access to care, service quality, and healthcare costs. When developing policies and programs, healthcare leaders, policymakers, educators, and stakeholders require current data on workforce supply, demand, distribution, training, and utilization. Consequently, SHTM and its Health Science program continually develop majors to address critical workforce shortages identified by state agencies, professional organizations, labor groups, and regional industries.
