Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 65 participants.
Single session event
Two years of undergraduate chemistry is required before matriculating in medical school. Many of the concepts taught in general and organic chemistry are not directly related to understanding human biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, and chemo-pharmacology. Perhaps these are merely challenging hurdles, but then shouldn't more attention be paid to whom they prevent from becoming doctors? A case will be made that the content itself is highly relevant, and that only professional chemists have the perspective to teach our future doctors this important science. A challenge for discussion will be to critically consider specific elements of the didactic and laboratory chemistry curriculum for its true value to those students.
