Resource Center
A resource center at the end of an exhibition provides access to four interactive activities and a searchable database of women physicians for student visitors.
In this special gallery within the Changing the Face of Medicine exhibition, visitors can sit down and engage in game-like activities that illuminate the work of physicians featured in the show. Visitors learn of the workings of the circulatory system and play a game by guiding a red blood cell on its journey through the body. In another activity they find out about some of the tools that doctors use to examine their patients, while another reveals the hereditary conditions for passing sickle cell anemia to the next generation. The fourth activity explores a specific kind of mistake in cell reproduction called translocation, and tests visitors’ ability to spot chromosomes with this type of error.
