The Principles of Biomedical Sciences class is a Project Lead the Way course in which students’ learning is facilitated through student inquiry of real world applications. Daily attendance is essential because experiences are obtained through hands-on collaborative labs. Students will investigate the human body systems and various health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and infectious diseases. They determine the factors that led to the death of a fictional person, and investigate lifestyle choices and medical treatments that might have prolonged the person’s life. Students will also explore the many various careers in the biomedical science field. The activities and projects introduce students to human physiology, medicine, research processes, clinical care, and bioinformatics. This course is designed to provide an overview of all the courses in the Biomedical Sciences program and lay the scientific foundation for subsequent courses.
