Online Pre-College Programs and Courses

An understanding of physiology is an invaluable part of any budding physician, scientist, or healthcare provider’s repertoire. Discover classical anatomy and physiology of the human body as we explore the nervous, muscular, cardiopulmonary, renal, digestive, and immune systems, and learn how each effects health and disease. In addition to classroom study, you will be challenged to synthesize this newfound knowledge by participating in interactive activities. If you wish to pursue biomedical and scientific studies in the future, you will utilize the knowledge of the basic physiological processes learned in this program.

This self-paced program is primarily delivered asynchronously; however, your instructor may schedule live interactions as well. Please refer to your syllabus for these opportunities and for your important program deadlines.

Prerequisite: Background in Biology is strongly recommended.

Required Text: There is a required textbook. Details about the materials you need are available within your course syllabus and the Summer at Hopkins organization Canvas site.

Discover how chemistry, one of the oldest scientific disciplines, has made significant contributions within numerous fields such as health care, medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, materials and polymer science, and forensic chemistry. For example, the development of new drugs involves chemical analysis and synthesis of new compounds. Chemistry also plays a vital role in the development and growth of several consumer-based industries such as pigments and paints, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and oil and natural gas. In this program, you will focus on the applications of chemistry in medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.

In the midst of a global pandemic that has shifted the ways in which we move, work, and interact with others around the world, it is more important than ever to have a deeper understanding of how outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics have evolved. You will review select communicable (COVID-19, Ebola, Zika, and HIV) and non-communicable (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, injury, and mental health) diseases in public health around the world. Examine the global burden of these diseases and the various forms of prevention efforts undertaken by global and national organizations. This program will use a combination of lecture, discussion, and student presentation format to encourage broad participation.

Population genomics is the study of the structure, function, and variability of the entire genetic complement of organisms considered on a population scale. By examining how gene variants change in structure and frequency in populations over time, we can study the process of evolution and how it contributes to biodiversity and the formation of new species; this information can be used to increase the efficacy of conservation efforts. By studying gene variants underlying diseases at the scale of populations, we can better diagnose complex polygenic diseases like cancer. This course introduces the fundamentals of population genomics and provides an overview of the subfields of evolutionary genomics, conservation genomics, and medical genomics.
