Risky Business
This unit includes an unit overview and 3 subunit overviews with built-in lessons.
Unit description from the source: Students will learn about lifestyle and genetic influences on health status and about the health insurance system in the United States. They will imagine a future healthcare environment in which technology has greatly advanced, treatment costs have escalated, and individual lifestyle and medical data are widely available to insurers. In this scenario, insurance companies routinely use this kind of information to create programs aimed at improving health outcomes, set insurance rates, approve or deny applications for health insurance, and reduce healthcare expenses.

Second Opinion
This unit includes an unit overview and 2 subunit overviews with built-in lessons.
Unit description from the source: In this unit, students will explore the variety of medical practices that exist outside of conventional Western medicine. Complementary and alternative medicine, known as CAM, is becoming more widely accepted in the United States as our population becomes more diverse. At the same time, scrutiny of these practices, some of which are not subject to any regulatory oversight, is an issue that becomes increasingly pressing for the healthcare industry, healthcare workers, and the general public.
