PAS-5032 Physiology and Pathophysiology 3
Physiology and Pathophysiology 3 & Lectures proceed through organ systems with presentations emphasizing normal physiology of that system followed by the pathophysiology of diseases important to that organ system. For each system, lecturers will discuss normal function, cellular changes, and pathological changes, including inflammatory aspects, infectious conditions and any neoplastic presentations where appropriate. Genetic mechanisms in health and disease will be integrated into each system where applicable, and an understanding of the mechanisms that underlie disease processes and diagnostic tests is also included. This provides a foundation for the study of diseases in the Clinical Medicine courses. Clinical cases are utilized; areas of study include: neurology; rheumatology; orthopedics; women's health; geriatric medicine.
