CHEM 1005 — Chemistry for Healthcare Professionals
This is a one-term laboratory chemistry course (2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) designed for non-science majors primarily in healthcare programs. We will learn about basic concepts in Chemistry, including atomic theory and stoichiometric relationships, to think critically about current environmental issues in science. These concepts will also be applied to the health field. The course also explores the role chemistry plays in our personal and professional lives. During the lab portion, we will observe and collect data, relate it to the knowledge gained from lecture, prepare for relevant interpretation of the laboratory results, and the apply results to personal experiences. (e.g., why it is important that healthcare professionals understand the role partial pressures play in blood pH.) This course is not recommended for students who wish to continue to take more chemistry courses. This course is not a substitute for Chemistry 1010, which is a 4-credit course
