PLTW Biomedical Science Program Overview

The video introduces the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Biomedical Science program, highlighting its focus on hands-on, project-based learning. It outlines the four-course pathway: Principles of Biomedical Science (PBS), Human Body Systems (HBS), Medical Interventions (MI), and Biomedical Innovations (BI). Each course builds on the previous, covering topics from forensics to medical interventions and innovations. The program emphasizes real-world problem-solving, preparing students for careers in biomedical fields. Skills such as motivation, reading, writing, and hands-on learning are crucial. The program also offers opportunities for college credit.
