Medical Academy Field Trip

Students on a field trip to Saint Joseph Hospital to take a tour and hear from various health professionals about the role that medical ethics play in the work that they do each and every day.

Medical Academy Summer Reading!

Medical Academy PBL and summer reading is off to a great start. Students are reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and using this to discuss medical ethics. It is about a woman whose cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 and used for experimentation that would lead to the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, and more. Her cells continue to be bought and sold by the billions, yet she remains virtually unknown, and her family can’t afford health insurance. Many of our students are already studying this in their English, Social Studies, and Principals of Health classes to develop a BSHS Medical Academy Student Code of Ethics Handbook (Project Based Learning).

PBIS

We just had our first rewards day of this kind and it was a complete success!  Celebrating students with outdoor activities, food trucks, etc.
