Synopsis
If you are about to write your exams, you know that Biomedicine has become a very large and an incredibly important part of them. BUT, what has been frustrating has been knowing exactly WHAT to study. AND, once you kind of figure out what to study, then it is… ‘WHAT? THAT MUCH?! I don’t have time to put that information together!’Hence, the birth of biomedical bootcamp (the most requested course from you).In addition, I would say that during a typical week in clinic, I refer anywhere from 2-10 patients to their primary care physician in order to look into their symptom-set a bit further. We NEED to learn our red flags for diseases so that our patients are receiving the best care possible. There are many cases where TCM is just not the best, immediate route of treatment. It is true that we are helpful in all cases that come to our clinic, but sometimes that is just managing symptoms oralleviating side effects of medications, surgeries or of chronic diseases that are very difficult to treat.I am excited to let you know that, in addition to myself, 3 dedicated instructors helped contribute to this course:Dana Clarkson B.Sc.N. (Western Diseases) – Dana entered her nursing program on a prestigious scholarship and achieved her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She was the student-dean liaison for 3 years, and specializes in Critical Care nursing. Her knowledge and high work ethic for this course are truly formidable.Brittany Montague B.Sc.N (Pharmacology) – Brittany brings her Bachelor of Science in Nursing knowledge to this program, in addition to her extra experience and education in Emergency and Critical Care Assessment. She also has over 5 years of volunteer experience in both hospice and as a medical first aid responder. Brittany’s clear and ‘to the point’ teachings will cut through any confusion you may have in the subject of Pharmacology!Sara Bjorkquist (143 Illnesses) -Sara is a health care professional with experience in both policy and practice. She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Ontario universities, and a Diploma in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific Rim College in British Columbia.
