Biomedical Sciences Program 

• The Project Lead The Way Biomedical Sciences (BMS) Program is a sequence of courses that use a hands‐on, real‐world problem‐solving approach to learning. Biomedical Science is a problem and project-based course in which students are allowed the freedom to discover key ideas through engaging activities. The problems that are focused upon are based on real life medical issues. Students work with the same equipment and tools used by professionals to explore the roles and responsibilities of a variety of medical specialists. Topics covered throughout the course include human medicine, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and public health. 

• Year 1 – Honors Biomedical Science I 

• Year 2 – Honors Biomedical Science II

921280 Honors Biomedical Science I

2.00 Credits Full Year 

In Semester I of the program, students explore concepts of biology and medicine to determine what led to the death of a fictional person. Students examine autopsy reports, investigate medical history and explore medical treatments that may have prolonged the person’s life. In Semester II, students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis in the body. Students build organs and tissues on a skeletal manikin and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration. Throughout the semester, students take on the roles of biomedical professionals to solve real-world medical cases. Students design experiments, investigate the structures and functions of the human body, and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration. This course meets the requirements of Honors Principles of Biomedical Science and Human Body Systems through Project Lead the Way. 

922280 Honors Biomedical Science II

2.00 Credits Full Year 

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Honors Biomedical Science I

In Year 2 of the program, students follow the life of a fictitious family as they investigate how to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Students explore how to detect and fight infection, screen and analyze DNA, evaluate cancer treatments, and prevail when organs of the body fail. Interventions related to immunology, surgery, pharmacology, medical devices, and diagnostics are explored. In the final part of the course, students build on their acquired knowledge and skills to design innovative solutions for pressing health challenges of the 21st century. Topics range from public health, biomedical engineering, clinical medicine and physiology. This course meets the requirements of Medical Interventions and Biomedical Innovation through Project Lead the Way. REQUIRED: Successful completion of Honors Biomedical Science I

*Concurrent Enrollment Class - Students who successfully complete the program will earn 8 credits through Great Bay Community College (BIOL 106G - Human Body and BTEC105 - Introduction to Biotechnology)
