BODY IN BALANCE

MEDSC-M 775

Introduction to core basic science, pathophysiologic, and diagnostic principles requisite for the care and treatment of patients with musculoskeletal, neurologic, and psychiatric presentations and disorders. Basic science concepts include those from the traditional disciplines of cell biology, histology, biochemistry, anatomy, embryology, neuroscience, and behavioral science. Regular integration of these topics with their pathologic and pathophysiologic counterparts. Integration of content related to other competency domains, or "longitudinal threads", that include patient care communication, evidence based medicine, health information technology, quality improvement patient safety, professionalism, scientific inquiry and public health.

ANAT&PHY 335

Core concepts in human physiology from cells to organ-systems via online lectures and active learning activities including laboratory experiments. Topics include homeostasis, membrane transport, cellular physiology, regulation of metabolism, and functions of the nervous, endocrine, muscular, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal system.

MEDSC-M 772

Organized around biomedical themes including nutrients, the digestive system, the biochemistry and endocrine control of metabolism, exercise and fitness and the removal of waste products and toxins to present an integrated picture of how these systems function together to maintain homeostasis. Integrates developmental content from competency domains, or "longitudinal threads", including communication, patient care, ethics, health information technology, public health, professionalism, quality improvement, patient safety, and scientific inquiry.

MEDSC-M 812

Focus on assessing patients with urgent medical conditions, providing acute inpatient care, and transitioning patients to other care settings or home under the care of other professionals. Provide acute care in inpatient and outpatient urgent care settings as well as on the inpatient wards, and develop acute management plans and subsequent transition of care plans. Clinical experiences in acute care settings such as the emergency department and inpatient medicine (both general and subspecialty), psychiatry, and neurology. Builds upon fundamental science concepts introduced in Body in Balance and Mind and Motion, including Ohm's Law, acid-base balance, and volume regulation. Organ system-based approach employing varied modalities. Complete an integrated patient-centered experience by participating in the care of a patient from an urgent admission through inpatient treatment and discharge.

PHYASST 550

Introduces information fundamental to understanding clinical medicine principles. Topics addressed include select areas of physiology-pathophysiology, pharmacology, laboratory medicine, and common systemic disease processes. There will also be instruction relative to cognitively approaching the patient.
