PAC 5116 - Human Physiology and Pathophysiology

Hours: 5

This course focuses on the aspects of human physiology that are most important to build a basic science foundation for future clinical practice. The focus is that all disease and injury to the human body is a deviation from normal anatomy and physiology. The material focuses on normal physiology (and some anatomy), clinically relevant pathophysiology, and genetic and molecular mechanisms of health and disease. Instruction introduces how clinicians use “breaks” in homeostasis to diagnosis and treat disease.
