Medical Chemistry: Teaching with Rigor and Relevance

Presentation Category: 
Curriculum Integration
Session Type: 
CPA Session
Presentation Description: 
Chemistry can be an intimidating, uninspiring course for many high school learners. However, when taught through a healthcare perspective, Chemistry comes alive for all levels of students. Learners become engaged in a contextualized classroom setting that is both rigorous and relevant. Medical Chemistry allows students to shed their high school personas to role-play a physician, nurse, researcher or pharmacist who serve their patients and the community. Learn how this "A-G" physical science lab course will excite your students so much that they are reluctant to leave and anxious to return.
