Student Testimonials
“I didn’t know what to expect of the new biomedical pathway, but after going through the first course, Principles of Biomedical Science, I wish I was a freshman this year. I would have loved to have the opportunity to complete the entire pathway. It was interesting to not only learn about body systems, but also get into the forensics behind it. It broadened my knowledge of biomedical science and I was interested in what I was learning the entire time. I knew that I wanted to enter the medical field before I took this course, but I am even more interested now. I am so happy that students entering high school have the chance to experience all there is to offer in the Biomedical STEM Pathway. In the fall, I am planning to attend Millersville University for biology with the hopes of going to Veterinary school." - Sara Hoover, OVHS Class of 2020
