{Ohio State University} Pills, Potions and Poisons
The Pills, Potions and Poisons program provides high school students with an overview of pharmacology and its relationship to health, disease and society. In the field of pharmacology, scientists study the interactions between drugs and the body and then apply what they have learned to the development of new drugs. Students will learn through a variety of approaches including lecture, discussion, debate, games, laboratory visits, field trips and hands-on experiments. On the final day of the course, students will present their findings in a showcase day and overview the College of Pharmacy's Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) undergraduate program. All parents and teachers are invited to attend.
