1. Grosse Pointe Board of Education Science Pilot Course Proposal:To achieve approval for student enrollment in 2008-09 Applied Medical Research with Clinical Investigations Renee Seago, Sue Speirs, Tommy B., Theresa G. Monday February 25, 2008

2. Title: Applied Medical Research with Clinical InvestigationsCredits: 1 Full Year, Senior Level Course Required Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry (Honors level preferred) Recommended Prerequisites: AP Biology or Physiology or Microbiology; and Physics or concurrent enrollment in Physics Applied Medical Research with Clinical Investigations provides upperclassmen, who are strongly motivated to pursue a career in medicine, a broad exposure to clinical rounds and medical research. Shadowing experiences in clinical rounds at hospitals, doctor’s offices, and at the University research departments highlight the learning in this course. Class seminars, both didactic and collaborative, deepen understanding of pathophysiology and present challenging medical case studies. Students apply academic study to the problem-solving tasks associated with medical research—designing, implementing, and communicating research projects through multimedia and final colloquium. Academic concepts are applied in clinical/research rounds, course studies, laboratory setting, student-initiated research, and case study analyses.

5. Two Week PeekMonday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Week Two to include: Demonstrations, Guest Lecturers, Integrate Seminar with case study, Lab, Demonstration, Guest Lecturer Flexibility: built into this pilot course is the flexibility to include experiences for quality standards #3 from a smorgasbord of possibilities Rounds: 75% of the clinicals/research rounds would occur outside of the school day—curriculum full and ½ days, after school, or on Saturday. As the partners determine best times in their schedules to collaborate with the students, some clinical would be completed during class time or as field trip during the school day
