Medical students collaborate with high school AP biology and traditional science classes to teach foundational biomedical sciences through clinical case-based learning. Through teaching, students integrate osteopathic principles and improve their understanding of disciplines like pharmacology and genetics. Pre/post surveys and board-style assessments measure learning outcomes and retention.
