Course #1: Principles of theCourse #1: Principles of the Biomedical Sciences™
Student work involves the study of human medicine, research processes and an introduction to bioinformaticsintroduction to bioinformatics.
Students investigate the human body systems and various health conditions including: heart disease diabetes sickle-including: heart disease, diabetes, sickle-cell disease, hypercholesterolemia, and infectious diseases.

Course #2:Course #2: Human Body Systems™
Students study basic human physiology, especially in relationship to humanespecially in relationship to human health. A central theme is how the body systems work together to maintain internal balance and good healthinternal balance and good health.
Students use data acquisition software to monitor body functions and use the Anatomy with Clay® Manikens™ to

Anatomy with Clay® Manikens to study body structure.
Course #3:Course #3: Medical Interventions™
Student projects will investigate various medical interventions thatvarious medical interventions that extend and improve the quality of life including: diagnostics, surgery, g g g ybio-nanotechnology, pharmacology, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and life t l h istyle choices.

Course #4:Course #4: BMS Capstone Course
In this capstone course, students will design and conduct experimentsdesign and conduct experiments related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease orand prevention of disease or illness. They will apply their knowledge and skills to answer questions or to solve problems related to the biomedical sciences.
