Description

This introductory, multidisciplinary course provides the student with the requisite knowledge necessary to understand the normal structure and function of multiple organ systems and focuses on medical physiology that correlates the principles of basic functional mechanisms to practical methods for clinical assessment. Classroom instruction enhances understanding of several major physiological systems in a manner to emphasize the integration of cellular and biochemical processes that underlies the function of the human body. This course specificlly focuses on: factors controlling membrane excitability, homeostatic mechanisms, neuronal circuits, basic electrophysiology, hemodynamic functions, cardiac and skeletal muscle, neurologic, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. This course combines lecture with problem solving workshops, clinical correlations, and student directed learning.
