BMS 220: Introduction to Biomedical Sciences

Class Program
Credits 2

This course provides an introduction to biomedical sciences by challenging, motivating and encouraging students interested in pursuing biomedical science careers.  Course work will involve students working together in teams to master health science concepts and, in the process, learn real-life transferable skills in critical thinking and communication. Students will be assigned real-life disease scenarios and will follow the disease process from diagnosis, assessment, medical interventions (i.e., surgery, medical devices, pharmacology, diagnostics), plan/treatment, impact on patient life/work, and ethical medical dilemmas.
