“In Examining Disease, We Gain Wisdom About Anatomy And Physiology And Biology. In Examining The Person With Disease, We Gain Wisdom About Life.”
This medical resource page is all about creating a space where students who want to learn more about the medical field can flourish and thrive, while those who don’t can be inspired and discover a newfound passion. Throughout the use of this website, students will gain access to a centralized medical resource page that contains general overviews and information about basic medical terminology, techniques, and diagnoses. As well as an overview of different medical-related careers and specialties with hopes to expand student’s knowledge of medical-related professions and skills. Throughout this resource page, you will find an accumulation of summarized accurate medical information that was attained through extensive research. I believe that pre-medical studies shouldn’t begin when you go to college. Students should be inspired young, so they can generate a passion that can last a lifetime and allow them to reach success.
This resource website intends to provide a solution and an answer to the inquiry question below…
Inquiry Question: How can I help the younger generation gain exposure to medical studies, and allow them to gain inspiration and a passion for achieving future medical professions?
As a student, I always wished that there was a centralized informational source where students could get the chance to build upon their interests that revolved around medicine and medical professions. This led me to the idea of creating a solution to an inquiry question that I believe is important for those students who want to build upon, their already known passion for medicine.
