Medical Human Gross Anatomy & Embryology - ANTY - 1314
Required of all first-year medical students. Deals with the structure of the human body and relates this structure to function. The course presents a three-dimensional analysis of the human body and includes several clinical experiences and a correlated study of radiological anatomy. (lecture, lab)
Case Oriented Learning I - CAOL - 1121
Case Oriented Learning II - CAOL - 1122
Spans both semesters of the first year, introduces medical
students to clinical problem solving through interactive and
self-directed learning. The COL course uses problem-based
learning and small group discussions to encourage intellectual
curiosity and to facilitate approaches to problem solving that
are essential for the practice of medicine. During the course
students gain confidence and experience developing the habit of
self-directed, life-long learning that is necessary to be a
successful physician. In addition to providing opportunities to
apply and integrate information from basic science courses, the
COL course allows for reflective thinking on medical, scientific,
psychosocial, and ethical issues surrounding specific clinical
cases.
Cell & Tissue Biology - CBIO - 1312
Required of all first-year medical students. The
structure-function relationships of human cells, tissues, and
organ systems are described with an emphasis on the modern cell
biological, biochemical and ultrastructural methods used to
understand these close relationships. The material is presented
in an integrated sequence of cell biology, basic tissue
histology, organology, and endocrinology-reproductive systems.
The unique modifications of the cell membrane, the cytoskeleton,
the various subcellular organelles, and the characteristic
molecular content of these structures as they relate to
specialized tissue functions are noted throughout the course.
(lecture, lab, and demonstrations). For the sake of
continuity, the topics for this course are closely aligned with
those in the physiology course and include some integration
sessions related to specific disease process.
Genetics - HDEN - 1311
Required of all first-year medical students. An interdisciplinary
assessment of gene structure and function utilizing current
emphases and concepts that are common to the disciplines of
Developmental Biology, Biochemistry and Medical Genetics and
provide a scientific basis for understanding the genetic basis
for disease. The course will consist of lectures, clinical
conferences and student presentations.
Clinical Neuroscience - NEUR - 2321
Required of all second-year medical students. An extensive
analysis of the morphological, physiological, and behavioral
aspects of the human nervous system. Clinical conferences will be
used to illustrate normal and abnormal mechanisms of neural
function and structure. (lecture, lab).
Special Studies - ANTY - 8900
A course available to enrolled medical students that may be
assigned only with the approval of the dean or the executive
associate dean of the college. This course may be used to allow
enrolled students to pursue special interests or projects within
the department or to accommodate special situations that may
arise
