Prior knowledge in chemistry is not essential but helpful. General Chemistry 1 is the first of two chemistry courses. The topics in this course are explained and discussed in context with clinical applications to different health professions. Specific topics include dimensional analysis, introduction to the structure and properties of atoms and molecules, periodic table, balancing chemical reactions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry and gas laws. In the required lab component students use a lab kit to conduct hands on labs.
