Course Description
This is the third of a series of three courses that are designed to achieve two goals. First, to apply foundational basic science concepts from cell biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology in a clinical context to better prepare students for careers in healthcare. In addition, this course will introduce strategies for studying and learning that have been proven to reinforce long-term recall. Students will complete three modules, two of which will address biomedical concepts encountered by healthcare professionals. These modules will be presented in a clinical context and will use four learning modalities to address them: reading text, viewing animations and illustrations, watching videos, and answering questions. The third module will introduce the students to specific strategies proven to enhance long-term learning and mastery of the learned concepts.
