Adv Phys Prin Across Lifespan

Catalog description

This course provides an in-depth examination and review of advanced physiologic principles as they relate to human development across the lifespan, with a focus on their implications for clinical care and anesthesia for specialized interventions. Emphasizing the dynamic changes in organ system function from neonate to geriatric patients, the course explores age-related variations in cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, endocrine, and nervous system physiology. Special attention is given to the physiologic considerations of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including organ transplantation, advanced pain management techniques, and other specialized interventions. Students will analyze how lifespan-related physiologic variability affects disease progression, response to treatment, and the safety and efficacy of anesthesia for complex medical procedures. This comprehensive understanding of human physiology will enhance students ability to apply evidence-based practice and optimize patient outcomes in diverse healthcare settings. End of course comprehensive evaluation will utilize further simulation-based training to clinically evaluate student.
