Advanced Pathophysiology

Catalog description

This course is an in-depth study of the pathophysiologic basis of disease as it affects individuals across the life cycle. Emphasis will be placed upon endogenous and exogenous factors which contribute to altered functional balance at the cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels. National and global health disparities caused by genetic, developmental, and environmental factors will be discussed. Assessment findings, diagnostic testing, and interventions specific to selected health problems are explored to begin the development of critical thinking skills for pathophysiologic causes and treatments of given disease processes.
