Science in Medicine - FY 180 Course Syllabi- |
Science in Medicine FY 180 Science in Medicine, FY180 is a course offered to first year CC students who are interested in preparing for a career in the health professions during 8th block. The instructor for this course is selected from among our graduates who will be in their fourth year of medical school at the time the course is offered. This course will provide an opportunity to first year students to explore the health profession field through the perspective of a CC graduate. As the instructor, we encourage you to reflect upon the process of learning to be a physician. How it has changed your perspective and what aspects of medicine do you think will have an impact on a group of first year college students when passed through the lens of your personal experience. Each year the course content has varied since the instructor is free to create his or her own syllabus. Some instructors have adopted a textbook for the course, while others have relied on handout materials, films and limited laboratory experience. Guest lecturers from CU medical school and visits to the medical school and local hospitals have often been features of the course. The Health Profession Advising Office sends out letters of invitation to those who should be eligible to apply, according to the HPA records. Selection of the Science in Medicine instructor is based upon a formal proposal that includes a brief philosophy and outline of the course as you envision teaching it if you are selected along with two letters of recommendation solicited for this endeavor. Samples of course syllabi from previous years are from: Peter Shepard who taught in 2004, Doug Jacobson who taught in 2005, Rhett Mays who taught in 2006 and Katie Kaufmann Myhre who taught in 2007. Allison Bukowski will be teaching during 8th block 2008. Currently FY180 is not scheduled to be taught in the 2008-09 academic year. |
