Description

A continuation of BMS5042 Physiology I, this course provides a systems-based curriculum that provides the student an opportunity to build a cognitive framework and knowledge base necessary to understand and apply normal human physiology to medical physiology and pathophysiology. Systems covered in the first semester include cellular physiology, homeostatic mechanisms, basic neurophysiology, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, and renal system. Systems covered in the second semester include gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, reproductive systems, neurophysiology, introduction to biomedical ethics, and multisystem physiology and pathophysiology processes. Basic clinical skills, clinical reasoning, physical exam skills are also integrated throughout. This curriculum combines lecture with clinical correlations, case studies, independent study, projects, and simulation activities. Pre-requisite: none.
