Advanced Neonatal Pathophysiology

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the relationship between normal embryology and fetal development and normal physiologic functioning with the pathophysiologic phenomena that can occur in the fetus and neonate. A relationship between the pathophysiologic occurrence and the consequential clinical manifestations is explored. This base serves as one of the primary components for clinical assessment, decision-making, and management of neonatal disorders. Students will work independently under the guidance of the faculty. This course is designated for those students who have taken an adult or lifespan advanced pathophysiology course, but need the required neonatal content provided to Creighton students.
