MyFutureMyScience Curriculum Survey - Scientists and Healthcare Professionals

3.How should we prepare students for their future?

1.If you were explaining personalized health to a high school student, what would you talk about?(Required.)
2.Many aspects of biological research aim to create models that allow scientists to make predictions about how perturbing a biological system will affect that system.
If you were explaining to a high school student how some research allows researchers to make predictions, what would you talk about?
(Required.)
3.Curricular materials that address predictive biology and personalized medicine might be appropriate in a variety of courses. Which of the following do you think are the most appropriate? (Please pick 2)(Required.)
4.The following topics are covered in life science classrooms. How important do you think each topic is for creating connections to predictive biology and/or personalized health?(Required.)

5.Being a healthcare provider or a healthcare consumer will soon be very different.

In order to interact with a healthcare system that is more predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory, we will need specific skills and understandings.

Please indicate how important you believe the following skills and understandings will be as healthcare changes.
(Required.)
Very important
Somewhat important
Not important
I don't know
Understanding cause and effect: mechanism and prediction
Using decision making skills
Understanding energy and matter: flows, cycles and conservation
Understanding scale, proportion, and quantity
Understanding the roles of ethics and morals
Recognizing patterns, similarity, and diversity
Relating form and function
Understanding systems and system models
Recognizing stability and change
