PAS 642: Pathophysiology I


2 credit hours

Pathophysiology I is the first of a two-semester overview of the disease process through the study of the convergence of pathology with physiology. This course introduces the student to the functional changes associated with disease or injury and will examine the complex interrelationships of function and dysfunction at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and systemic levels. This course complements Clinical Medicine I, Gross Anatomy, Physical Diagnosis, and Provider Communication I, and Pharmacology I in the first semester, and will cover dermatology, the musculoskeletal system, autoimmune disorders, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and infectious disease.
