2.00 Credits
This course instructs?students?on?the anatomy, physiology and pharmacology underlying pain and analgesia.? The first half of the course provides a fundamental understanding of the neurobiology of pain processing and analgesic mechanisms. The second half of the course addresses subject matter specific to pain and analgesia in the dental clinic.? Students participate in Translational Research Conferences that relate basic science principles to clinical practice.
-
3.00 Credits
Spring. The neuroscience course includes a study of neuronal activity and functions ranging from molecular events to neuronal circuitry and neurophysiology. The activities of the nervous system presented include: nociception, discriminative touch and proprioception, special senses, somatic motor control and higher cortical functions. Clinical correlations and therapies are discussed to illustrate the importance of understanding the basis of these functions of the nervous system.
-
7.00 Credits
Fall/Spring. The course in human anatomy is devoted to the study of the structure and function of the body using a regional approach with an emphasis on functional and clinical relevance. It includes the study of the organs and muscles with their relationships, arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage, and innervation. Principles of body structure and function are studied with particular emphasis on the head and neck and major organ systems. A strong effort is made to correlate anatomy with other courses in the basic and clinical sciences of the dental curriculum.
-
1.00 Credits
Fall/Spring.?This biomedical science course encourages the development of life-long learning skills and habits including use of the medical dictionary, the professional literature, health sciences library, and quality internet sites when researching biomedical and clinical questions. This course provides small group, student-centered learning?that is supportive of Year I dental student presentations and discussions as an alternative method of learning (compared to the traditional faculty-centered lecture format).
-
5.00 Credits
Spring. The first phase of instruction in pharmacology includes a thorough study of the basic concepts and principles of pharmacology. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of action, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs; therapeutic indications; common adverse reactions; and drug interactions.?? All important classes of drugs used in dentistry and medicine are covered in sufficient detail to provide the student with an excellent preparation for entry into the clinic and for a second phase of training that teaches oral therapeutics, drug interactions, and pain and anxiety control through the participation in the Conjoint Sciences program and in various selective courses.
-
1.00 Credits
This clinically-oriented dental pharmacology course provides updated information for Year IV students.
-
3.00 Credits
This elective clerkship is intended to provide students an opportunity to conduct research in biomedical sciences under the guidance of a faculty mentor.? Selection of this clerkship requires mutual agreement between the interested student and BMS faculty and is subject to approval by the department.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental and advanced concepts in modern cellular biology, molecular biology and genetics are presented. This is a cross-departmental course that prepares students for the other biomedical science courses in the curriculum and places an emphasis on molecular and human genetics.? Topics covered include cellular structure and the roles of cell membranes in transport and signaling, replication and expression of genetic information, molecular biological technologies including genomics and proteomics, and principals of human genetics including the genetics of cancer, genetic tests and gene therapy.
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides?students with basic understanding of the principles of biochemistry and molecular biology. Nutritional guidelines for optimum human health at all stages of life, including dietary reference intakes (DRI), energy requirements and metabolism, and acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges are discussed. Other topics?include the essential chemical structure, biochemistry, and metabolic functions of the macro- and micro-nutrients as well as some important non-nutrient components of foods, regulation of gene expression by specific nutrients, drug-nutrient interactions, nutritional immunology, brief review of impact of nutrition of oral health, and assessment of methods of nutritional status.
-
1.00 Credits
This lecture course introduces Year I undergraduate dental students to the dental profession.? Students are exposed to?1) concepts of health, illness, and?prevention; 2) the oral health care team of professionals and paraprofessionals; 3) established and emerging modes of oral health care delivery; 4) oral health care needs, demands, and utilization; 5) dental public health; 6) the role of government in dentistry; 7) dentistry from an international and global perspective; 8) oral?health promotion; and 9) health policy.???????
