Biomedical Science

The Project Lead the Way® Biomedical Science™ program is a four year sequence of courses designed to introduce you to the broad field of medicine and biomedical science.

Biomedical Science

Biomedical Science is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of American industry, employing more than 15 million people in a wide range of occupations.

The Project Lead the Way® Biomedical Science™ program is a four year sequence of courses designed to introduce you to the broad field of medicine and biomedical sciences. Each course will allow you to solve real-world problems through a series of hands-on exercises.

Principles of Biomedical Science (Recommended 1st Course)

This introductory course to the PLTW Biomedical Science program serves to provide foundational knowledge and skills in fields such as biology, anatomy and physiology, genetics, microbiology, and epidemiology, as well as engage students in how they can apply this content to real-world situations, cases, and problems such as solving a medical mystery case, diagnosing and treating a patient, or responding to a medical outbreak.
 

Human Body Systems™ 

You will examine the processes, structures, and interactions of the human body systems to learn how they work together to maintain homeostasis (internal balance) and good health. Using real-world cases, you and a team of students will play the role of biomedical professionals and work together to solve medical mysteries.

Medical Interventions™ 

Through a series of student projects, you will investigate various medical interventions that extend and improve quality of life, including gene therapy, pharmacology, surgery, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and supportive care.  Using 3D imaging, data acquisition software, and current scientific research, you will design a product that can be used as a medical intervention.

Biomedical Innovation - Capstone Course™ 

Guided by your instructor and community mentors, you will work in teams to identify a scientific research topic, conduct research, write a scientific paper, and defend your conclusions and recommendations to a panel of outside reviewers.
