Purpose The purpose of the BEPAA Health Sciences Program is to provide students with a foundation of knowledge and technically oriented experiences in the study and applications of biomedical sciences and the possibilities in the biomedical field. This program uses a combination of activity-based, project-based and problem-based (APPB) learning styles to engage students. The content includes but is not limited to the study of human body systems, medicine, health, key biological concepts, communication, and transport of substances, locomotion, metabolic processes, defense, protection, research processes, engineering principles and an introduction to bio-informatics. The program also presents and discussions of real-world medicine interventions and innovations that includes the design and development of various medical interventions, including vascular stents, implants, and prosthetic limbs etc. In addition, students review the history of organ transplants and gene therapy, and stay updated on cutting-edge developments via current scientific literature. Hands-on projects include problem solving, investigating the structures and functions of body systems, and using data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary actions, and respiratory operation by way of virtual laboratories. The course culmination gives student teams the opportunity to work with a mentor, identify a scientific research topic, conduct research, write a scientific paper in the form of a literature review, and present the paper in front of a panel of reviewers.

Group Activities Group activities are the most integral part of the BEPAA Integrated Health Sciences Program. These activities include discussion of videos, real-world case scenarios, and science and math problem solving.

Academic Alignment All of the content and methods in the BEPAA Integrated Health Sciences Program curriculum have been aligned to the NYS Next Generation Science Standards and National Science Education Benchmarks contained in specific math and science core academic courses. (See supportive documents below)

Essential Skills Essential skills identified by the Division of Career and Adult Education of NYS have been integrated into the standards and benchmarks of the BEPAA Integrated Health Sciences Program. These skills represent the general knowledge and skills considered by industry to be essential for success in careers across all health industry career clusters. Students preparing for a career served by this program at level 3 (Grades 9-12) should be able to demonstrate these skills in the context of this program.
