Summary
Humans are made up of trillions of cells which make up the tissues and organs of our body. What happens when these cells are attacked and damaged by bacteria, viruses, or even our own bodies? Throughout this course students will explore the answers to this question first by gaining an understanding of the human body on both a micro and macro level. Beginning with an overview of human anatomy and physiology, students will probe the nature of disease with new understandings about genetics, pathology, and epidemiology. Students will also get the opportunity to learn this material through hands-on activities such as dissections, individual research, and group case based learning. They will then learn how this knowledge can be applied in a variety of different careers.
Student profile
As a lab science course, it is recommended that students wear clothing that is able to handle a laboratory environment. All ALP students should bring a personal laptop or tablet for use in class and during evening sessions.
