  1. Demonstrate a clear understanding of foundations in human anatomy, organ function, molecular cell biology, public health and health disparities, and health informatics.
  2. Evaluate scientific information in the context of philosophical, ethical and societal concerns of human health science.
  3. Understand the scientific method.
