COM 660 - Endocrine System

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Osteopathic Medicine

Description:

The Endocrine System will consider the five major endocrine glands plus carbohydrate and ionic homeostasis. The endocrines of the reproductive system will not be considered in this unit of study. Outline: Using an outline of objectives, these subjects will be approached from the position of excess (hyper) function, deficient (hypo) function and anatomical abnormalities (neoplasms). Each clinical situation will be examined using a series of five questions: (1) What is the clinical presentation? (2) What diagnostic tests can confirm your hypothesis? (3) How is this differentiated from closely related diseases? (4) What is the etiology, pathophysiology and prognosis if left untreated of this disease? (5) How is this disease treated? (6) How is this disease monitored and managed over time? Students, working either individually or in groups, are advised to develop responses for each of the objectives. The examinations will come from the objectives.
