With your group, discuss what you know about the following conditions: sickle cell anemia, HIV, pregnancy, diabetes Time: 10 minutes

5. Activity 1 We will be going to the computer lab to research the 4 conditions. Work with a partner to complete the Cause, Symptom & Treatment/Cure table Time: 60 minutes

6. Closing Get with someone you have not worked with in class yet From your research, discuss any questions, interesting facts, or something new you learned about the 4 conditions you researched We will discuss as an entire class after Time: 10 minutes

7. Day 2: What’s Wrong With Me, Doc? Required Readings: None Learning Objectives: To diagnose patients based on the research completed in medical school and symptoms presented by the patients Vocabulary: Diagnosis Prognosis

8. Starter With your group, read through The Hippocratic Oath Discuss and write your answers to the discussion questions Sign The Hippocratic Oath Time: 15 minutes

9. Activity 1 Each member of the group will be a patient and be a part of a team of doctors You will have one medical condition that you will act out to the team of doctors The team of doctors will come up with a diagnosis and why, discuss what treatments are available, and what the prognosis is for the patient. Time: 40 minutes (10 minutes per patient)

10. Closing Choose 2 of the health conditions we have been studying over the past 2 days and create an acrostic Conditions: HIV Pregnancy Diabetes Sickle Cell (Anemia) The acrostic can include things such as: Causes Symptoms Treatment Information about the condition Time: 15 minutes

17. Activity 3 Create a cartoon that depicts the basic needs that are needed to maintain human life: Food Water Oxygen Body temperature Atmospheric pressure Your cartoon can be informative, funny, or clearing up misconceptions (i.e. one person says something that is wrong and another person corrects them) Time: 25 minutes

18. Activity 4 What is the difference between positive- and negative- feedback mechanisms in our body?

Stimulus/response Receptors/effectors Control center Time: 20 minutes
