Classes are engaging!  Learners will be given code at the beginning of each class to join Nearpod.com for an interactive lecture.  Learners will participate in hands-on labeling activities, quizzes and games.  Discussions around pathology and clinical cases will be presented.  An optional study guide will be available each week.

Learning Goals

Name and label major organs of each major body system using appropriate medical terminology.
Understand the relationship between structure (anatomy) and function (physiology).

Other Details

Parental Guidance
* Some classes may showcase clinical cases and short videos that may depict surgeries, wounds and/or blood that can be graphic in nature. * The respiratory lab uses plastic bags to measure lung volumes. This may pose a choking hazard. * Classes on the reproductive system include sensitive topics and images that include, but are not limited to, the anatomy of external genitalia, physiology of erections, menstrual cycles and childbirth. * Nearpod.com will be used to provide a more interactive class experience. This third party tool is approved. No additional account is required. A link will be provided at the beginning of class.
Supply List
An optional study guide will be provided at least 24 hours before each class.  Study guides can be downloaded or printed for learners to follow along during class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College
Bachelor's Degree in Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences from Queen's University
My experience in teaching started when I was in high school as a math and ESL tutor.  I majored in life sciences at Queen’s University in Ontario with a minor in psychology.   I moved to North Carolina and practiced for 5 years as a chiropractor and acupuncturist before starting a family and embarking on a second career as a university instructor.  I have been teaching anatomy & physiology and medical terminology for over 15 years.

Note: Classes on the reproductive system will focus on the anatomy (parts) and physiology (function), rather than topics on sexuality, gender issues and sexual health.  All material presented is factual and science-based.
