RTHS Human Anatomy & Physiology II students had the opportunity to travel to downtown Chicago and explore the Human Cadaver Lab at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. They were able to see, learn about, and hold human hearts, brains, livers, lungs, and kidneys. They were also able to have a Q&A session with 3 different Med School students.
Each student that was selected to attend went through an application process, which prompted them to write an essay about their futures in the field of medicine, science history at RTHS, and why they believed this trip would benefit their future plans!
Weather in the 70s (plus little wind) means it was finally time for Home & Workplace Maintenance to take the drones outside! This week, weather pending, they will complete a scavenger hunt around the school, obstacle course, and then take some promo pictures of our beautiful campus!
