From design and data analysis, to outbreaks, clinical empathy, health promotion, and more, students explore the vast range of careers in biomedical sciences. They develop technical skills and in-demand, transportable skills that they need to thrive in life and career.
Students learn about the different systems of the human body and how they work together to maintain overall health and wellness. They will explore organs and tissues of different body systems at the macro- and microscopic levels and take on the roles of medical professionals, as they diagnose patients and develop treatment plans.
Students learn about a variety of diseases and the medical interventions that are used to diagnose, treat, and prevent them. Through a combination of traditional and hands-on laboratory activities, they will learn how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, how to combat an infectious outbreak, how to diagnose and treat genetic disorders and cancer, and how to perform surgical suturing.
Students build on the knowledge and skills gained from previous courses to design their own innovative solutions for the most pressing health challenges of the 21st century.
