Enhancing Biomed/Biotech Education: A Comprehensive Program Timeline

The MCHS Biomed/Biotech Program aims to increase student engagement in advanced science courses, especially among underrepresented groups. All 9th graders are introduced to biology with flexible entry points into the program. Our curriculum focuses on hands-on experiences, such as internships and independent research, and includes relevant topics like DNA fingerprinting, drug testing, and forensic science. The program integrates professional development for teachers and emphasizes critical skills like teamwork and technology proficiency, preparing students for future careers in biotechnology and health sciences.
