An integrated course covering the important aspects of biochemistry,
cell biology, human and molecular genetics, and histology. Includes lectures, small group conferences, and laboratories. The course stresses the clinical relevance of the basic science material.
*110 course hours, Dr. El-Maghrabi and Dr. Schechter
A lecture and laboratory with emphasis on dissections of the human
head, neck, and trunk. Includes functional and topographic anatomy,
embryology, clinical correlations, and an introduction to radiology.
*131 course hours, Dr. Krause and Dr. Stern
A comprehensive course on human embryological development.
*12 course hours, Dr. Stern and Dr. Krause
Surveys functional neural systems integrated with laboratory studies of the structure and organization of the human central nervous system. Topics include sensory and motor systems and the autonomic nervous system.
*88 course hours, Dr. Kritzer
A graduate-level introduction to the physiology of the organ systems
with ultrastructural correlations. Ultrastructural correlations are demonstrated in a laboratory setting using histological preparations in conjunction with electron micrographs illustrating the relevant ultrastructure needed to understand the normal functioning of tissues and organs. The physiology of the major organ systems is addressed in a lecture format with the emphasis on problem solving. Relevant clinical correlations are addressed at the end of each block in so far as they illustrate how symptoms and signs of disease result from disordered physiology. Medical Physiology addresses the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, skeletal, reproductive, and integumentary systems.
*128 course hours, Dr. Cameron
Introduces the nature and causes of disease, death, reaction to injury, and repair. Analyzes associated structural changes in cells and tissues, with reference to their functional correlates.
*104 course hours, Dr. Fleit
The goal of this course is to develop in the student a solid understanding
of the role of dietary deficiency, excess, or imbalance in
altered metabolism of nutrients and pathogenesis of disease, and the
role of dietary modification and specialized nutrient formulations and
delivery systems in preventing and treating chronic and acute illness.
*23 course hours, Dr. McNurlan
Presents information derived from molecular genetics and cellular biology of microorganisms to provide a foundation for understanding basic mechanisms underlying pathogenicity of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Laboratory experiments demonstrate techniques to identify and quantitate bacteria.
*86 course hours, Dr. Benach
Basic principles that underlie actions of drugs on physiological processes with particular reference to their therapeutic and toxic actions. Primarily for medical, dental and graduate students.
*104 course hours, Dr. Fisher
*course hours are subject to change
