Course - PHY 1310 Physics in Medicine

In Fall 2024, Physics in Medicine (PHY 1310)  
A few points of interest about this course...
- This is the first time that this course is being offered.
- It is a general education approved course.
- It is an algebra based overview of the entire year of introductory physics, with a specific focus on how those topics are related to concepts in medicine such as EKG, diagnostic imaging, blood pressure, electrophysiology, etc.
- Importantly for premeds: This course will allow students the option of preparing for the Physics and Math section of the MCAT, with practice questions, etc,  This will not be a full MCAT prep course, but it will incorporate prep for this specific section of the MCAT.
