The Human Body:  A Case-by-Case Exploration
June 16-20, 2009

The University of Findlay is hosting a five-day Summer Honors Institute to provide opportunities for gifted students in Ohio.  The students will engage in-depth study of topics related to human body systems, health and wellness.  The Summer Honors Institute will be held at The University of Findlay from June 16-20, 2009 with check-in on Monday, June 15th at 7pm.  

What is involved?
Participants will be involved in at least 25 hours during the week exploring patient cases that provide a framework for the study of gross anatomy and human physiology through lecture, human cadaver dissection, and laboratory interventions and tests.  The hands-on laboratory activities allow students to become more familiar with the fields of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy professions.

Students who are Ohio residents, meet the criteria for identification as a gifted student (as described in Ohio Administrative Code 3301-51-15), and have completed 9th or 10th grade are eligible to apply.
