IMAGING AND EMBRYOLOGY: THE BASIC SCIENCE OF FETAL DYSMORPHOGENESIS

RADIOL 911
Course Description

The diagnosis and management of congenital abnormality requires an understanding of the basic principles of embryology, imaging, and genetics. Replicating how patients enter the medical system, the didactic path begins with ultrasound diagnosis of fetal abnormality. The embryological basis of the fetal malformations will be examined. From this center, exposure to advanced diagnostics, such as fetal echocardiography, fetal MRI, and genetic testing and counseling. Topics extend to early postnatal care (pediatric genetics and pediatric radiology). Participate in the Meriter Perinatal Conference, learn about genetic approaches to the diagnosis of fetal malformation syndromes, and learn the rudiments of an obstetrical sonogram.

MODERN CLINICAL GENETICS: HOW TO APPROACH A RAPIDLY CHANGING FIELD

MDGENET 911

Genetics and genomics are rapidly evolving fields. In modern clinical care settings, clinicians will be exposed to genetic and genomic data, including that brought by patients, and knowing how to read genetic and genomic data is increasingly necessary in clinical practice. Genetics and genomics in a clinical setting spans a wide range of topics including diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases. Familiarity with clinical genetic analysis, and the genetic approaches used in basic science, helps medical students better understand genetic disease background. Learn how to bridge basic concepts of human genetics and clinical genetics (actual diseases). Emphases will include research into human genetic diseases, including designing genetic testing, using model organisms and/or cell culture systems, and the development of genetic testing technologies.

GENERAL RADIOLOGY ELECTIVE

HUMAN FAMILY TREE

MEDSC-M 773

Focuses on molecular, genetic, embryologic, hormonal, anatomical and physiological factors that govern fertility, cell growth, fetal development, and pregnancy as well as the congenital anomalies that can occur when those processes are aberrant. Encompasses the full life-cycle spectrum including childhood growth and development, young adulthood/puberty, issues affecting adolescents and young adults, genetic basis of human disease, reproductive health, menopause, aging, unregulated cell growth (cancer) and end of life issues. Significant content from other competency domains, or "longitudinal threads", such as public health, advocacy, ethics, patient care/communication and clinical skills.
