Welcome to Biomedical Science!

COURSE DESCRIPTION

BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE
Grade level: 11-12
Prerequisite: Biology, Chemistry recommended
Length: one semester

Biomedical Science will explore introductory science concepts and practices utilized by biomedical professionals.  Topics may include basic biology and biochemistry, human physiology, genetics, nutrition, microbiology, and medicine.  Real-world examples (e.g., disease, sport injury) will serve as the context for growth in understanding of the structures and interactions of human body systems, as well as illness/injury prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.  Research processes will be emphasized in order to allow for medical investigation problem solving.
