Presentation Description: 
Health and Science Pipeline Initiative is a collaborative network of K-16 educators, industry representatives, and community organizations that are actively engaged in the common effort to improve students’ ultimate success in healthcare professions. HASPI preparation is intended for students of all academic levels and backgrounds. HASPI's three primary goals are to: (1) Increase health/medical career awareness, (2) Improve science proficiency in middle school, high school and college science courses, and (3) Ease student transition to postsecondary programs and improve retention rates. This presentation will showcase some of the HASPI-sponsored curriculum for Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, Middle School Physical Science, and Middle School Life Science which are tailored to infuse a high level of health & medical contextual application while maintaining the newly adopted Next Generation Science Standards for the sciences. Visitors will get a brief overview of the HASPI curriculum and have a chance try out some of the labs first hand!
