Premed Students Explore Plant-Based Medicine
February 15, 2025
Our Premed II students recently embarked on an exciting Ethnobotany & Forest Ecology field trip, diving into the world of medicinal plants and their role in both traditional and modern medicine.
From visiting a renowned cultivator of healing plants to exploring advanced extraction techniques at Caribbean Gold Standard Lab, students gained hands-on experience in plant-based medicine and its pharmaceutical applications. A standout moment? Discovering Nature’s Remedies, where they connected classroom concepts with real-world herbal medicine—like the willow plant, the source of aspirin’s active compound!
This immersive experience brought science and tradition together, inspiring the next generation of medical professionals.
