The Science Behind the Care
Welcome to a chemical journey designed specifically for the future healthcare professional. This course isn't about memorizing the periodic table for the sake of a grade; it’s about understanding the molecular machinery of the human body.
We provide a focused survey of General and Organic Chemistry, bridging the gap between textbook theory and clinical application. From the physics of respiratory gases to the complex behavior of organic functional groups in pharmacology, you will gain the foundational knowledge required to understand how medications, fluids, and metabolic processes interact to sustain life.
Key Themes:
Precision: Mastering measurements and chemical equations.
Equilibrium: Exploring the delicate balance of gases, solutions, and pH.
Identity: Understanding the hydrocarbons and organic structures that form the basis of human biology.
This book is based on the OpenStax Chemistry 2e book available here.
