MEDI 6120 - Foundations of Medicine Module (13 Credit Hours)
This integrated, introductory module is designed to provide the students with an understanding of the foundational principles of medicine including those related to cellular and molecular principles of medicine, genetics and early development, biochemistry, physiology, medical therapeutics, histopathology, microbiology and immunology. Students will focus on clinically relevant normal and abnormal cellular structure and function (including regulation), the operations of the genome, the features of early development as well as the biological mechanisms by which the body responds to external stimuli. Through the use of patient cases, students will be introduced to the language, concepts, and treatment of disease to show how alterations in structure, function, and development are associated with disease states. This case-based module will include relevant professional, cultural, and biomedical ethical issues, with a focus on evidence based medicine and value-based healthcare. This knowledge is foundational to primary care practice as well as other medical specialties.
