\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – In the spring of 2016, some of the area\u2019s brightest high school students\u2014including public school, private school and home-schooled students\u2014will have an opportunity to take a rigorous dual enrollment class at Austin Peay State University to see if they have what it takes to survive in the medical profession.<\/p>\n

The class, Human Anatomy & Physiology, will be offered from January 19th – April 27th through APSU\u2019s Center for Extended and Distance Education, with Clarksville orthopedic surgeon Dr. Cooper Beazley leading the class.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The campus of Austin Peay State University. (APSU)<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThis is not a class for beginners; it\u2019s not a class where you can catch up. It moves very fast,\u201d Beazley said in a video promoting the class. He added, \u201cThe real reason to do it is to give you an exposure to what you\u2019d encounter in medical school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students who successfully complete the class will earn four hours of APSU college credit toward a bachelor\u2019s degree. The class will also give these high school students a head start on their medical careers, by providing them with a taste of what they\u2019ll experience in medical school, which is why it is only for high performing, serious individuals.<\/p>\n

The class will meet on the APSU main campus from 6:00am-8:00am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with labs held on some Friday evenings and Saturdays. In those labs, students will gain hands-on experience equivalent to a third year medical student.<\/p>\n

Eligible students must have completed their high school biology and chemistry requirements, and commit themselves to full attendance, regardless of the class\u2019 interference with extra-curricular activities. To enroll, students must also have an ACT composite score of at least 30, and ACT math and science sub-scores of at least 24.<\/p>\n

The deadline to submit an application, available at www.apsu.edu\/sites\/apsu.edu\/files\/gosooner\/AP_course_application_0.pdf<\/a> is September 21st, 2015.<\/p>\n

Selected students will be notified by October 1st, including those on a waiting list, and a meeting with Dr. Beazley and APSU staff will take place later that month.<\/p>\n
