Medical Interventions

Students investigate the variety of interventions involved in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease with a focus on ways to maintain overall health and homeostasis. Other concepts include:

• How to prevent and fight infection

• How to screen and evaluate the code in human DNA

• How to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer

• How to prevail when the organs of the body begin to fail

Through these scenarios, students are exposed to the wide range of interventions related to immunology, surgery, genetics, pharmacology, medical devices, and diagnostics.
