Pre-College Summer 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 online program is primarily delivered asynchronously, but students are expected to meet both daily and weekly deadlines for class assignments. Your instructor will also provide optional opportunities for synchronous sessions, such as office hours, group discussions, and supplemental lectures. Attendance for synchronous sessions is voluntary and based on students’ availability.

Prerequisite: Background in Biology is strongly recommended.

Required Text: Required Text: The textbook for this course is Lauralee Sherwood’s HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY: FROM CELLS TO SYSTEMS 9th Edition (Cengage Learning, ISBN 978-1285866932).
