From Jim Monday, Lincoln High School ROP Healthcare Essentials, San Diego Unified:

I was discussing with the ROP folks a Texas Health Science website that also has great information. I like how this site is easy to maneuver around.

Medical Ethics

The following site has specific case studies set up for high school and college students. Scrolling down the case study list, you will find an area specific to medical ethics. Great opportunities to open up discussions and/or facilitate research:

On NPR Weekend Edition, May 31, writer Elaine McArdle was interviewed about her article in Boston Globe regarding the science gender gap, especially the career choices of women that excel in science and engineering studies. Brief and very interesting.

From Darci Kimball, Castle Park High School Biology/Chemistry, Sweetwater Union High School District:
I have been using 2 websites which provide incredible, medically-applicable animations that may be of great interest to those of us who are teaching Medical Biology or Human A & P. The students have found them to be engaging and...well, just really cool!

www.argosymedical.com
Illustrates physiology of the human body from cells to organ
systems as well as how medical procedures affect the human body. Some of the
concepts are pretty graphic, so a warning should go out to teachers to
check out the animations first before showing them to students.

http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/ap1int.htm
Several links are listed for biology and chemistry. But special
interest may lie in the Argosy medical link, ADAM animations, First Aid, cancer,
etc.

There are many other websites, such as the Harvard animations, which are
also pretty neat. But these give you the most "bang for your buck!"

From Janet Hoff, Webmaster:
Welcome to the RAHSI.org Message Board! This page is primarily intended for Health Pathway instructors and prospectives. You will note that RAHSI.org is a comprehensive resource site for multiple audiences (students, parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, industry reps…). New information is being added on an ongoing basis—some is time-sensitive (scholarships, institutes, summer programs; professional development, teaching award nominations; Message Board page)—so please check back often.

Think of this Message Board as your opportunity to contribute to the richness of RAHSI.org. Share your tips of the trade and new discoveries, communicate with each other, request colleague-to-colleague feedback, etc.!

Please set aside some time to introduce your students to the For Students page on this website, either during class or by providing the URL and assigning them to research at home. Remember, this is a living/breathing site—consider it a “go-to” for a large variety of Health Pathway and career exploration related inquiries.

Finally, do share additional links that will augment the For Teachers curriculum and lab supplements. For example, an article was published on MSN.com today announcing research findings that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. If you are into your Genetics curriculum or will be soon, this might be an interesting article for your students: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22934464/from/ET/. It’s as easy as that!

We encourage your comments and questions. Visit the Contact Us page for more information on how to reach us. Enjoy RAHSI.org. This is for YOU!
