PHGY 350 Pathophysiology Units: 3.00
An introductory course in Pathophysiology in which the underlying functional changes of cell and cell systems will be discussed in association with a variety of disease processes.
Learning Hours: 114 (36 Lecture, 6 Online Activity, 72 Private Study)
Requirements: Prerequisite (PHGY 215 and PHGY 216) or (KNPE 125 and KNPE 225) or PHGY 210 or PHGY 212 or PHGY 214
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Health Sciences
Course Learning Outcomes:
- identify the mechanisms (cellular and systemic) by which selected diseases occur in the major physiologic systems of the body
- recognize and identify the major signs/symptoms of selected diseases, and understand how they are produced by the diseases processes implicated
- differentiate between similar-but-different diseases based on their signs/symptoms and pathogenesis (basic principles of differential diagnosis)
- briefly describe selected diagnostic methods and key treatment approaches for the diseases studied, based on your understanding of the underlying disruptions to normal physiologic function occurring within each disease
- effectively use appropriate terminology to describe disease etiology, pathogenesis, treatment and outcome(s)
- work effectively with a diverse group of peers to plan and execute a concise research investigation
- present your findings on a specific disease, as obtained through investigation of primary sources, in a clear, balanced, and engaging presentation communicated at a level appropriate to your audience.
