This interactive workshop will provide you with the
opportunity to study muscles, bones, nerves, joints,
vessels and organs using actual human specimens.
Hands-on exploration using pre-dissected cadavers
will provide you with an understanding of the
structure of the human body and how it functions.

In this workshop you will learn how to view and
image the human eye to identify corneal, retinal and
other diseases. Instruments will be used to view and
image the anterior segment of the eye up to the iris
and to image the optic nerve and retina.

Learn how athletic therapists use taping techniques
to help athletes remain healthy and injury-free. This
lab will review 2-3 of the most common athletic
taping techniques used in a rehabilitation setting.
Following a demonstration by the athletic therapist,
you will apply athletic tape to class mates to gain an
appreciation for the art and science of athletic
taping.

Recreation Therapy uses recreation to improve the
functioning, independence, and quality of every
individual’s life, with illness or disability. Recognizing
that recreation is such an important part of every
individual’s life, participants will develop ways to
adapt various activities to ensure everyone can
access recreation and leisure activities regardless of
barriers. Participants will be given the opportunity to
have some fun playing wheelchair basketball.
**Indoor shoes are required**

This interactive and intergenerational workshop will
introduce you to gerontology, the multi-disciplinary
study of aging. You will explore your ideas of aging
and ageism, discover how you can learn about and
work with the ever-growing numbers of olderadults,
and experience what it’s like to be an older person.
This will be a fun and inspiring session with oder
adults from the community and graduate students
studying gerontology!

Fueling muscle
contraction during
exercise
During exercise oxygen must be conveyed from the
atmosphere to the working muscle, providing the
muscle with oxygen, nutrients and energy for
exercise. In this workshop volunteers from your
group will perform exercise of increasing intensity
on a cycle ergometer while other students assess
their ventilatory and cardiovascular response to
exercise using breath-by-breath oxygen uptake
analysis equipment, an electrocardiogram to
measure heart rate, stethoscope and
sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure.
**Indoor shoes are recommended for participation
in this workshop as you will have the opportunity to
act as test subject**

In this workshop you will be introduced to
Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias
and experience some of the challenges associated
with these diseases through a series of hands-on
activities. Persons living with Alzheimer’s disease or
a related dementia can continue to live a purposeful
and meaningful life. We will explore how you can do
your part to help enhance the lives of persons with
dementia and their families through volunteer and
career opportunities.
20
In this workshop you will have an overview of the
emerging field of health informatics and career
opportunities. You will see some innovative ideas of
using latest technology such as mobile technology
and imaging technology in health promotion and
healthcare delivery.
10
In this workshop you will participate in a roundtable discussion about substance abuse among your
peers and different ways communities manage
some of these concerns. Students will be introduced
to the concepts behind the use of harm reduction
strategies and untangling different aspects of illicit
and non-illicit substance use to understand how
different policies have been designed to promote
health behaviours.

There are two main categories of depression – major
depressive disorder and dysthymia – as well as a
grouping of other, less common types. There are
also a number of other mood disorders that can
cause depression symptoms. In this workshop, you
will learn how to recognize signs of depression and
what treatment options are available.

Acetaminophen is a widely used over-the-counter
medicine because it is a powerful analgesic (relieves
pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever). In this
workshop you will synthesize Acetaminophen in the
Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Laboratory. You
will perform an actual lab that our Science
Undergraduate students perform at the University of
Waterloo.

Using familiar chemistry techniques (like titration) in
one of the U Waterloo Science Labs, a comparison
of the vitamin C content of various beverages will be
undertaken while also identifying the health benefits
of this popular vitamin.

Get a chance to be a real-life Dr. House in this
workshop through fun, hands-on activity! You will
be working in teams to perform surgery on a mock
human chest cavity to extract tumours and perform
diagnostic chemical tests to save your patients!

This workshop will introduce an optical imaging
technique with which one can image parts of the
human body such as the eye, the skin etc. noninvasively as a way providing early diagnostics of
various diseases. You will see imaging of the human
cornea and / or retina and will have the opportunity
to image sweat glands and blood vessels located
below the surface of your fingertip. You will also
learn of many exciting ways optical technology is
used currently in clinics for diagnostics and
treatment of various diseases.
