U.S Healthcare Pyramid

Part A

Students will analyze each of the three different levels of the healthcare pyramid: i.e., primary, secondary, and tertiary care. In your analysis, contrast with the previous level of care. The analysis should include an example of each type of care.

Part B

For each level of care, describe one or two types of professionals that provide care at each level.

For each professional describe:

The type of education required

The types of services provided

Any type of certification/licensure needed to practice

Part C

For each level of care, cite two (2) examples of local institutions that fit the description.

For example, Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center would be an example of a tertiary care provider.
