What we teach
Our sessions give students the knowledge and the roadmap that most people only find out about late in high school.
The science
- Biology
- How the human body works, from cells and genetics to organs and systems, taught at the right level for each grade.
- Chemistry
- The building blocks behind medicine: atoms, reactions, and how chemistry explains what happens inside the body.
The path
- Careers in health
- What doctors, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, dentists, and researchers actually do, and how each one gets there.
- Planning your path
- Which classes to take in middle and high school, and when to start volunteering, shadowing, research, and other experiences.
