WHO: Johns Hopkins University-Center for Talented Youth (CTY)

WHAT: We are seeking an instructor for the Medical Sciences:
Pharmacology and Toxicology course in our summer program. CTY offers
intense 3-week academic programs for highly talented elementary,
middle, and high school students from across the country and around
the world.

WHERE: Bethlehem, PA (Moravian College)

WHEN: Session 2: July 14 - August 4

education and teaching experience. ROOM AND BOARD ARE PROVIDED.

CLASSES: 16 students in the 7th through 10th grades. Each course has a
Teaching Assistant as well as an Instructor.

COURSE: Medical Sciences: Pharmacology & Toxicology
Students begin by learning the basic principles of pharmacology,
including drug receptor interactions, structure activity
relationships, and cellular control mechanisms. The course then turns
its focus to applications of drugs and toxins for human use. Students
research the testing and development history of aspirin, penicillin,
and other common pharmaceuticals. They also evaluate the risks and
benefits of new drugs and other chemicals and examine mechanisms by
which chemical agents evoke toxicity.

Students consider recent biomedical research affecting the fields of
pharmacology and toxicology. These medical issues include attention to
alternative medicine, the differences in functioning and testing of
natural vs. synthetic medicines, and pharmacological applications of
information gathered from the Human Genome Project.

There is a complete day-by-day curriculum guide for the course
including lessons, labs, and other activities.
