This is the first of three courses designed to develop an understanding of homeostasis and the relationship of physiology, pathophysiology, and human genetic concepts of disease as they pertain to each organ system or area of medicine covered in the first trimester in PA 504 Principles of Medicine I. This course will incorporate anatomy within a clinical content with an emphasis on important anatomical structure and function relevant to the physical exam, diagnosis, and development of disease and in the anatomical relationships of structures to each other. Lectures, discussions, anatomy lab participation, case studies and a multimedia approach will be used to present the material

This is the first in a series of courses designed to provide the study of human diseases and disorders by organ system, using a lifespan approach from newborn to the elderly. Course includes epidemiology, etiology history, clinical signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnostic studies, therapeutic management, prevention and prognosis of disease in clinical medicine. Organ systems covered include, infectious disease, dermatology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, and methodology across all age groups from the pediatric population to the geriatric population. Emphasis will be on disease processes common to primary care practices using lecture, case study, and a problem-based learning approach.

This is the first in a series of three courses designed to provide the student with an understanding of the mechanisms by which drugs alter the function of living cells to relieve symptoms and physiologic manifestations of disease. This course will begin with an introduction to general principles of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and then concentrate expressly on the pharmacotherapeutics germane to the organ system modules covered in this trimester. At the end of the course students will understand the general properties of drug categories and prototypical drugs used to treat diseases of these body systems and apply these pharmacologic concepts to clinical situations. Through lecture and case study, special emphasis will be placed on the development of problem-solving and medical decision-making skills as they relate to the clinical use of pharmacotherapeutics. The course will be a hybrid course of digital and on-campus learning.
