Simulation Lab
Â鶹´«Ã½ School of Medicine offers a unique field trip opportunity for local high school groups interested in healthcare. Students will have the chance to use surgical simulation equipment under the guidance of residents and physicians from the university. Due to room limitations, groups are limited to 20 students and four weeks’ notice is required for scheduling. The cost is $10 per student. This is a great opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in the medical field.
Forensic Science
Forensic science is the scientific method of gathering and analyzing evidence. The forensic science major at Â鶹´«Ã½ is an interdisciplinary program that employs the methods, tools and perspectives of biology, chemistry, anthropology, sociology, physics, mathematics and medicine to better understand the intersection of law and science.
