Abstract
Physics instruction for aspiring health care professionals, medical researchers, and biologists often fails to capture the interest of students. This is despite the many ways physics is used in research, diagnostics, and treatment. Universities are revising the introductory physics courses to be more relevant to pre-health students. Part of this process involves incorporating biomedically relevant material into both lecture and laboratory sessions in an authentic way with the physics content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
