Succeeding in Health Science Chemistry is meant to be a powerful supplement for any student taking the General Chemistry component of a one or two semester General, Organic and Biochemistry (GOBC) sequence or for students taking a chemistry review course to help prepare for college. These courses are commonly taken by pre-nursing students, exercise science students or students seeking health care certifications.
Succeeding in Health Science Chemistry:
- Is a workbook compatible with any GOBC or basic chemistry textbook on the market and provides students with practical step-by-step ways to understand and work with the basics of inorganic chemistry.
- Guides students through basic problem solving skills with training examples and thoroughly explained answers.
- Features a short quiz which can be used as a homework assignment, an in-class worksheet or an assessment activity in each chapter.
- Is flexible! The chapters are sequenced to match up with the content structure of most courses, but instructors can certainly go in any order and then simply assign components of the workbook that fit.
- Provides a suggested lists of ions to memorize, more details on signification figures and measurements, and a simple to use VSEPR table.
Feedback from pre-nursing students who have already used this textbook have been glowingly positive. They have indicated that the training exercises, the clear way in which concepts are explained and detailed explanation of solved problems have really helped them learn the content and improve their academic performance. This low-cost workbook can really help your students succeed regardless of your teaching style, textbook used or content pace/sequencing. Give the workbook a try for a semester and provide your students with a really useful tool to help you help them experience greater success.

Dr. Michael Dunphy, has taught courses in chemistry to nursing-intended students, chemistry majors, pre-professional students (pre-med, pre-dental, pre-physical therapy, pre-pharmacy, etc…) and others since 1981. Dr. Dunphy has his Ph.D. in Biochemistry, but he also has a Master’s degree in Clinical Chemistry, and he worked as a Research Toxicologist at a reference lab for 4 years and as a Clinical Toxicologist at Timken Mercy Medical Center (in Canton, Ohio) for 2 years prior to entering academia full-time in 1985. During his clinical work, Dr. Dunphy performed therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) analyses and emergency drug screening panels, interacted with nurses, physicians and lab professionals daily. Through this, he gained a thorough understanding of the issues involved in patient diagnosis, stat work, handling of biological samples (tissue, blood, urine, amniotic fluid, feces, etc…) and the critical importance of understanding the scientific underpinnings of the dynamics of patient care from the phlebotomist to the lab, nurses, physicians, patients, families and others involved in clinical work and patient management.
Dr. Dunphy’s approach is grounded in both his practical experience in the clinical setting and over three decades of teaching experience. He currently serves as Professor of Biochemistry and Division Chair for Math & Sciences at Walsh University in Canton, Ohio, where he continues to actively teach chemistry, engage in scholarship and provide speaking, consulting and other services to businesses and universities nationwide.
