CHEM 1005 - Chemistry for Healthcare Professionals

Institution:

North Hennepin Community College

Subject:

Description:

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, stoichiometric relationships, and kinetic molecular theory, and use our understanding to think critically about current environmental issues in science. These concepts will also be applied to the health field. We will also explore 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 ourselves for relevant interpretation of the laboratory results and the application 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.
