• Biomed 1, 2, and 3 qualify as CTE or lab science elective credit.

• Biomed classes receive weighted grades in the Sioux Falls School District.

• College credit is available for Biomed classes with qualifying scores.

This course is for students interested in a career in medical science or healthcare. Throughout the semester we will explore medical cases, scenarios, and hands-on experiences that allow students to develop skills and knowledge in the fields of biology, anatomy & physiology, genetics, microbiology, and epidemiology. Students explore a vast range of medical science careers while learning about crime scene investigation, autopsy, vital signs, medical history, emergency response, and patient diagnosis. This course builds the foundation for subsequent Biomed courses.

This course is for students interested in a career in medical science or healthcare. Students step inside the human body and explore the systems that help us move, protect us from disease or injury, and facilitate communication within the body and with the outside world. Students examine the interactions of body systems as they explore identity, communication, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis in the body. Students build organs and tissues on a 2-foot tall skeletal Maniken®. Students investigate the structures and functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration. In Human Body Systems, students take on the role of biomedical professionals to study patient cases and solve medical mysteries.

This course is for students interested in a career in medical science or healthcare. Students follow the life of a fictitious family as they investigate how to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Students explore how to detect and fight infection; screen and evaluate the code in human DNA, evaluate cancer treatment options, and prevail when the organs of the body begin to fail. Through real-world cases, students are exposed to a range of interventions related to immunology, surgery, genetics, pharmacology, medical devices, and diagnostics. Each family case scenario will introduce multiple types of interventions and will reinforce concepts learned in the previous two courses, as well as present new content. This course has extensive lab work and requires the skills learned in the previous two courses.
