Pathophysiology

Catalog description

Pathophysiological concepts build on previous principles from anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and microbiology. This course correlates underlying genomics and pathophysiological processes at the system level to manifestations in individuals as signs, symptoms, laboratory findings to enable critical thinking and decision making. As the basis for the empirical pattern of knowing, it  provides an understanding of selected complex disease processes to facilitate interdisciplinary interventions.
