Description
HMS MEDscience is an innovative high school Biology course immersing students into simulated medical emergencies. Students learn to think like scientists as they are charged with diagnosing a patient! Our science curriculum motivates students to think critically, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively in teams. We bring classroom learning into the real world with hands-on experiences, giving students the confidence they need to succeed.
In the first session, students learn how to interview a patient and understand their vital signs. In the second session, students will solve a medical case involving either the respiratory or digestive systems.
