Biosciences Magnet Program
A cohort of highly motivated students with a rigorous math,
science, and medicine sequence of courses. Through a
hands-on and collaborative approach, students will explore
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease in order to
design innovative solutions for 21st century health
challenges.
Students will have the opportunity to…
· Participate in an internship .
· Be mentored by medical school students and other
medical professionals specific to a student’s area of
interest.
· Earn college credit and be taught by college
professors.
· Compete in scientific competitions at the local,
state, and national level.

Biomedical Innovation
This capstone course challenges students to design
innovative solutions for the health challenges in the areas of
clinical medicine, physiology, biomedical engineering, and
public health. Students work on an independent project
with a mentor or advisor from a university, hospital, or
industry.
