Human Biology: Pre-Med Prep Summer Course

Pre-Med: Human Biology Summer Course

at Residential Enrichment

Get ready to pursue a career in medicine.

It has been said that nature has composed some of her loveliest poems for the microscope, and this course will help you analyze the texts. Come harness your inner-Hippocrates this summer and join us for the perfect course for any student who aspires to pursue a career as a doctor, nurse or health professional.

You will begin the course with a “healthy” body and explore all the pieces that allow this intricate mechanism to function properly. After examining the physiology associated with the different biological systems contained in a normal human body, you will scrutinize the potential failure of each of these systems and determine how it will affect the body as a whole. Finally, you will discuss medical intervention and study the extent to which modern medicine can maintain the many working parts of the human body. Give this course a shot!

There’s no app for that!

You've got to be here.

As these photos and videos will show you, there actually isn’t an app for this experience! You can’t login remotely and you can’t join us via Google hangout - it just wouldn’t be the same. You have to be here; doing it, living it, being a part of it.

So, go ahead and explore our videos and images. Then, make us part of your story using #jkcp.

What will your favorite moment be?
