An Integrative Curriculum Approach to Mathematics and the Health Professions

Using Problem Based Learning The Allegany College of Maryland helped develop an approach to teaching mathematics to students in the health professions that has garnered a number of accolades. With a desire to let others know about their work, they created this site as a clearinghouse of information about their approach, complete several sample lessons, a presentation or two, and some additional links of interest. New visitors may wish to read the brief introduction to the project, and then continue on to view their online presentation. For many educators, the key section of this site will be the "Sample Lessons" area. Here, they will find topical lessons that deal with aspects of mathematics related to the health professions, such as determining exponential curves, systems of equations, and the world of mean, median, and mode.
