PAS-5030 Physiology and Pathophysiology 1
Physiology and Pathophysiology 1 Provides a foundation for the study of diseases in the Clinical Medicine courses and begins with basic science modules in cellular physiology, biochemistry, pathology, and immunology. Students learn about organ systems with presentations emphasizing normal physiology of each system, followed by the pathophysiology of diseases important to that system. For each system, lecturers discuss normal function, cellular changes and pathological changes, including inflammatory aspects, infectious conditions and any neoplastic presentations where appropriate. In addition, an understanding of the mechanisms that underlie disease processes and diagnostic tests is also be included.
