FUTURE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Gateway to YOUR future in health professions
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Be curious and keep learning. The future belongs to the curious only.
pURPOSE
Journey through the science of life through the lens of our daily lives. This course is intended to bridge the gap between traditional biology classes and the practical biology knowledge needed in the real world. We often hear about new "genome sequences," commercial kits that can tell you about your ancestry (including pre-human) from your DNA or disease predispositions, debates about the truth of evolution, and how people found "genetic evidence for natural selection." This course provides the basic biology you need to understand all of these issues better, tries to clarify some misconceptions, and tries to prepare students for future, more advanced coursework in Biology (and especially evolutionary genetics).
Why JOIN?
- Interested in Biology/ health career
- Always curious how your body systems work
- Indecisive if healthcare is the right fit for you?
- Want to have a clear understanding of medical terminology
- Want to be a future lifesaver.
- Preparing for University and planning to take a major in health sciences
- Want to improve problem-solving techniques, study, and leadership skills
- Would like to challenge to compete at regional, national, and international levels.
PROGRAM DETAILS
WHAT THE STUDENTS WILL BE LEARNING AND PRACTICING
1Introduction to biology
- In each class, a different biological concept will be discussed such as body systems, genetics, etc.
- Unique Interdisciplinary topics such as the relationship between biology and other subjects like math, art, and business.
- Understand what Biology everywhere philosophy means
- Understand Science (and biology) as a discipline of inquiry
- Understand how chemistry is foundational to understanding biology.
2Explore the smaller side of biology
- Basic topics like cell biology, molecular biology.
- Topics such as how cells can go “ rouge “ and turn into cancer
- basics of genetics and inheritance
- Applying concepts such as cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics to daily life
3Understand human body
- Different body systems and how they work
- Functions of cells and organs within the body and their integration to maintain life
- Understand the Medical Terminology as well as Anatomy and Physiology
- Understand Biochemistry, Hemostasis, and Metabolism
- Understand the evidence-based Biology
4Understand different healthcare professions
- Explore beyond high school biology within Healthcare settings
- Identify and explain current biological issues in today’s society
5Assessments
Weekly assignments designed in a manner that allows the students to apply biology concepts learned in the class
