3.00 Credits
The third in a sequence of three courses. Introduces pathophysiological processes involved in the development and progression of important diseases. Discusses diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, HIV infection/AIDS, and cancer. Reviews basic science concepts from a variety of courses completed in previous quarters. Lectures supported with handouts of current scientific literature. Practical training on glucose monitoring and blood pressure screening.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides the foundation for the study of molecular biology and genomics. The comprehensive sequence (along with RXPS 581, 582) establishes the biochemical basis for cell structure and emphasizes an integrated approach to understanding cellular metabolism; provides a biochemical, genetic, and molecular basis for understanding disease and drug functioning; and examines the mechanisms for genetic information flow in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Places emphasis on chemical signaling, cell-cycle regulation, principles of gene expression, and basic genetics. Prerequisite: P1 SQ standing.
-
3.00 Credits
The first in a two-course sequence that provides an overview of the host-parasite interaction in infectious diseases. Integrates the basic concepts of the immune response to infectious agents, and the role of immune response in disease; as well as the principles of medical microbiology. Covers basic knowledge of microbial taxonomy, growth, metabolism, reproduction, and genetic variation in sufficient detail for students to understand interactions between host and pathogenic microorganisms in infectious diseases. Emphasizes the rational management, prevention, and control of infectious diseases. Discusses immunologic diseases (e.g., AIDS, SLE, RA) and their therapeutic management. Covers diagnostic procedures.
-
3.00 Credits
The first in a two-part series that addresses the structure-function relationships of major biomolecules; enzymes in biochemistry; human-energy metabolism; and major pathways for human protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. Discusses important organic functional groups, nomenclature and physical properties, characteristic reactions, stereochemistry, and acid-base properties that are important considerations for drug action. Emphasizes principles of biochemistry as they relate to pH and buffers; hemostasis; enzyme functions; regulation of intermediary metabolism; chemical signaling; and interconversions in the living system, including the role of vitamins, hormones, and enzyme inhibitors. Discusses biotechnological advances, when appropriate.

-
5.00 Credits
Teaches the basic principles of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of drugs from the body. Focuses on physical, physiological, and biochemical factors that impact these processes. Includes clinical pharmacokinetics principles and practical examples in the recitation periods. Prerequisite: Successful completion of all P1-level courses and P2; AQ standing.
-
3.00 Credits
The first in a three-course sequence that focuses on the chemistry of natural and synthetic drug entities--their physiochemical properties, methods of synthesis, sources, derivatives, modes of biotransformation, and structure-activity relationships. Links the chemical structure of drugs to their pharmacological/ pharmacokinetic/toxicity profiles. Prerequisite: Successful completion of all P1-level courses and P2; AQ standing.

Links the chemical structure of drugs to their pharmacological/pharmacokinetic/toxicity profiles. Prerequisite: RXPS 611.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles governing radiation production and safety relative to radiographic anatomy/dental materials. Fundamentals of intraoral and extraoral techniques, darkroom procedures, and mounting of radiographs. Practical application of techniques. Prerequisite: RXPS 612. Corequisite: RXTH 683.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an overview of the host-parasite interaction in infectious diseases. Builds on the concepts developed in immunology, as well as the principles of medicinal microbiology. Covers basic knowledge of microbial taxonomy, growth, metabolism, reproduction, and genetic variation in sufficient detail for the student to understand interactions between the host and pathogenic microorganisms in infectious diseases. Emphasizes rational management, prevention, and control of infectious diseases. Covers diagnostic procedures. Prerequisite: P2 standing.
