A.P. BIOLOGY HANDS-ON PANDEMIC SIMULATION

In Mr. Mutchnick's A.P. Biology class, students participated in an engaging simulation to understand how quickly viruses spread in a pandemic. The exercise began with students socializing, unaware that one of them had been designated as the initial carrier of a "virus." Next, they traced the chain of transmission to find out that the spread of the virus originated from just a single student, demonstrating the rapid and exponential nature of viral transmission. This hands-on activity not only illustrated the concept of statistical expression in epidemiology but also provided a powerful insight into the dynamics of infectious disease spread.

EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND HEALTHCARE

IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES

You don't have to be solely interested in healthcare to find value in our Biomedical Sciences program. The field of biomedical sciences offers a wide array of career paths that extend beyond traditional healthcare roles. For instance, Hallie has a passion for healthcare law and found an enriching experience by shadowing Mr. McDonough, an Assistant District Attorney whose work intersects with healthcare law. Her unique opportunity gave her an in-depth look at the different types of courts and the array of cases handled by the District Attorney's office. The DA's office prosecutes medical fraud and abuse cases, including Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance fraud. They also handle cases of medical malpractice and negligence, as well as those involving drug abuse or the illegal distribution of controlled substances. Additionally, the office addresses violations related to HIPAA and privacy alongside issues concerning mental health.  Mr. McDonough's role at the District Attorney's office exemplifies how legal professionals can impact the healthcare sector.


The job shadow took place at the Mobile County Courthouse. Upon arrival, Hallie was greeted by Mr. McDonough and Fiji, a facility service dog trained to comfort victims testifying in court. They explored the district court's behind-the-scenes areas and observed various cases, primarily traffic violations. Other cases involved a murder trial, a complex domestic violence charge, and an assault case, which led to a request for a mental evaluation. Hallie learned that only circuit judges, not district judges, can order such assessments. She then had the chance to observe proceedings in the circuit courts and meet Judge Vicki M. Davis, rounding out her insightful experience in the legal system and its daily operations.


We are proud that our Biomedical Sciences program can provide foundational knowledge to thrive in numerous fields. Whether students are interested in impacting healthcare through law, technology, or business, our program offers pathways and support to help them achieve their goals! 

EXPLORING THE "WEB OF LIFE" IN 5TH GRADE SCIENCE

In 5th-grade science class, students have been utilizing Mystery Science to investigate the "Web of Life." Students have been exploring the fascinating interdependence of organisms within the ecosystems. They have investigated food chains and food webs, gaining a deeper understanding of how these systems are structured. Through hands-on activities, they have learned about the critical roles played by producers, consumers, and decomposers, and how these components maintain the balance of ecosystems.
