Biomedicine Learning Lab sponsored by Community Medical Centers

The Community Medical Centers Biomedicine Learning Lab requires students to explore issues in human anatomy/physiology and biochemistry through their study of how a body functions and how it reacts to disease. Students work through medical case studies while applying their science and English content. A portion of the student's time is spent working in collaborative groups on four community health-related projects throughout the year. The projects include: Foundations in Medical Science/Profiles of Medical Professions, Genetic Disorders, Epidemiology, and Trauma/Emergency Medicine. The academic course work is integrated throughout each project and brings relevance to the content. Students learn how to utilize multiple resources such as: medical mentors, medical libraries, the Internet, and medical journals.

	Credits Offered English 11 or 12 (P) Anatomy/ Physiology (P) or Chemistry (P) Topics in Biomedicine (P) CART Technology Applications
Students have the opportunity to: Work with medical mentors in a clinical setting Be exposed to the wide range of career opportunities in the health field Have the opportunity to apply academic content in a real-world setting Increase skills and knowledge in anatomy, chemistry, technical writing and research skills `
