Catalog description

The Cellular and Systems Disease States Module is a year long series of systems-based modules that is a microcosm of the Medical College of Georgia in its multifaceted approach to patient care. Armed with an in-depth understanding of normal human anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry from Phase 1 studies, students will begin learning the new language of disease. The vocabulary is expressed in words that describe the causes, consequences, and treatment of organ system dysfunction. All components of organ system derangements are taught from a molecular biologic point of view to assist students in developing in-depth understanding of disease mechanisms, before their transition to clerkship year of Phase 3.
