Kishwaukee College · UGRD · Fall 2026
Catalog description
Introduces the pathophysiology of commonly experienced chronic diseases and acute conditions found in the adult and geriatric populations. Alterations in regulatory processes, the gastrointestinal tract and its varied functions, movement and coordination, and sensory input will be addressed.

Opportunities to perform and perfect learned skills in the lab setting will be available. Lecture: Three one-half hours (3.5) of lecture/discussion per week. Lab: one-half hour (.5) lab per week. Clinical: Four hours (4) of clinical per week.
