Next, brief descriptions of the following courses offered in the curriculum are given: (1) Traffic Safety; (2) Patient Vital Signs; (3) Charting; (4) First Aid; (5) Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation; (6) Hygiene; (7) Diet; (8) Venereal Disease; (9) Contraception; (10) Health in Pregnancy; (11) New Baby Care; (12) Parasites; (13) Home Bound Patients; (14) Diabetic Teaching; (15) Hypertension; and (16) Substance Abuse.
