Internship – 3-part course series

In this specialization, you will learn about the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body, focusing on six major body systems:

  • Cardiovascular system (heart)
  • Lymphatic system (immune)
  • Respiratory system
  • Digestive system
  • Urinary system
  • Reproductive system

These courses will use a free, open-source text ( OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology ) with complementary activities and add-ons.

With a unique approach to learning that combines both art and science, you’re sure to find enjoyment in exploring the mystery and wonder of the human body!

Applied Learning Project

In each course of this specialization, you will have the opportunity to complete:

  • Exercise “The Art of Anatomy”
  • Optional peer-reviewed project
  • Graded module puzzles
  • Final exam summative

All of these are designed to reinforce your learning while assessing your new skills.
