Health Sciences Courses Online

Today, in the western world at least, humans are living longer: life expectancy has now reached 75 years. This is largely due to advances in the health sciences – our understanding of the human body and major maladies has brought more effective treatments, preventive and curative interventions (such as vaccines and antibiotics), and more refined surgical procedures. However, with heart disease, cancers, stroke, diabetes and obesity on the top ten list of fatal diseases in the western world, and population at an all-time high, the need for more health care professionals is greater than ever before.

Get Qualified: ADL offers a variety of pre-medical courses, ideal for those wishing to work in the health care industry, including an Advanced Diploma in Medical Science.  And there are many fields to cover – from audiology, counselling and dentistry, to nursing, nutrition and sonography.

Get a Career in the Health Sciences: Sarah, a student in her late 30s, gave up her office-based career of ten years to embark on Occupational Therapy training. She says, “For the first time in my life I’ve found my vocation – now I go into a hospital every day to work, and find myself really making a difference to stroke patients confined to their beds. If I can bring a smile to their faces or make them laugh, it makes my day.”

Learn Something New: There are many fulfilling and less traditional jobs in the field of the Allied Health Professions. For example, there are art/drama/music therapists; orthoptists; orthotists; prosthetists…as well as the more familiar occupations, dieticians, physiotherapists, radiographers and podiatrists. Whether you wish to teach aerobics or practise acupuncture or learn more about general health and well-being, ADL can provide courses for these subjects and many more…and all from the comfort and convenience of your home.

Professional Development: For those wishing to embark on a rewarding career in medicine (including preparation for WHO medical universities), complementary medicine or an allied health and para-medical field, ADL’s Advanced Diploma in Medical Science (Pre-Medical) is an ideal and intensive preparation.
