🫀 NEW FACULTY • NEW COURSE
We are excited to welcome Dr. Benjamin Dieffenbacher, DC to the Spring River High School faculty, where he will teach our new Human Anatomy & Physiology course this fall.
Dr. Ben brings an exceptional combination of academic study and real-world clinical experience to our students.
He earned his Bachelor of Science in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from the University of Florida, graduating cm laude, before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic from National University of Health Sciences.
His professional background includes more than a decade of clinical practice as a chiropractic physician, along with extensive postgraduate training in sports and functional rehabilitation, functional movement and training, sports injuries, and assessment and rehabilitation of the spine and extremities.
And now, he gets to bring that knowledge into the high school classroom.
In Human Anatomy & Physiology, students in Grades 9–10 will explore the human body through a systems-based approach, examining the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, immune, and reproductive systems.
Rather than simply memorizing anatomy, students will investigate the relationship between structure and function—how the body is built, how its systems work together, and what allows the human body to move, adapt, and function.
Through diagrams, models, applied activities, and the perspective of a practicing healthcare professional, students will have the opportunity to encounter anatomy as something living and relevant.
