Taught by Eckerd College Biology faculty in our science labs, students will spend the week doing the kind of hands-on lab work pre-health undergraduates do. Students will record their own heart and brain activity with ECGs and EEGs, measure lung function with spirometry, study human tissues under the microscope, and practice real microbiology techniques. Along the way, they\u2019ll explore cell biology, cancer biology, and medical genetics, and build the lab, observation, and critical-thinking skills that pre-med students rely on.
