This course will provide students with opportunities to learn fundamental concepts of disease mechanisms, the various responses of the body to restore homeostasis, and the effect of these responses on normal function. Topics covered include the physical signs and prognosis of common human disease. Pathogenesis will be viewed at the molecular, cellular, tissue and systematic levels and be correlated with signs and symptoms. Pathophysiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic and laboratory procedures, and the rationale or treatment modalities will be covered for model diseases.
