The Project Lead the Way® Biomedical Sciences™ program is a four year sequence of courses designed to introduce you to the broad field of medicine and biomedical sciences.
Biomedical Sciences 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 Sciences™ 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 the Biomedical Sciences™ In this course, you will explore the concepts of human medicine and gain exposure to research processes and bioinformatics. Through numerous hands-on projects, you will investigate human body systems and various health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, sickle-cell disease, hypercholesterolemia, and infectious diseases.
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 Intervention™ 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.
