3.00 Credits
An introduction to the pathophysiologic disruptions of normal human body function, this course will emphasize disease mechanisms and the body's response to restore homeostasis. Units of study include foundational concepts of cellular injury, genetics, acid-base, electrolyte, fluid balance and functional alterations of the immune, hematologic, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, musculoskeletal, and reproductive systems.
Prerequisite:
HTHS 1110 and HTHS 1111 and ZOOL 2200
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory and computer exercises involving analysis of both clinical and laboratory data. Students evaluate signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of various pathological conditions and diseases. One two-hour laboratory session per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory pharmacology course which covers pharmacological principles including modes of action, uses, modes of excretion, and patient side effects of various drug classes. The drugs are presented in a "system approach" with emphasis on medications utilized in diagnosing and treating diseases associated with the various body systems. Class format includes a 3 hour lecture class with students participating in oral presentations and case studies.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Directed Readings in Health Sciences areas. Must have departmental approval.
-
1.00 Credits
Intended for students interested in the health professions, this one-credit hour course will assist in developing information literacy and research skills. Students completing this course will be able to use an academic library and the Internet to successfully identify, access, evaluate and use information resources to support academic and clinical success and lifelong learning. Emphasis is placed on resources in the health sciences.
-
4.00 Credits
HTHS 2910 is designed for students who are investigating healthcare systems and careers in healthcare, integrating content from both health sciences and information literacy. The course explores pathways that can lead to meaningful and rewarding careers in healthcare, and techniques useful in applying and matriculating into these educational programs. Evidence-based practice is incorporated into the research process, enabling students to identify information needs, and to select, evaluate, and ultimately utilize health information to make informed decisions. This course emphasizes critical thinking and prepares students to join conversations on important topics in healthcare as informed and responsible participants. Ultimately, this course will enable students to approach our information landscape more critically, both as a consumer and creator of information and as a practitioner in the health sciences. This course fulfils the information literacy general education core requirement.
-
1.00 Credits
Presentations, group discussions and analysis of selected topics, designed to prepare the Health Science major for career opportunities in the job market and applying for Health Professions professional programs.
-
3.00 Credits
Pharmacology Principles and Clinical Applications is an upper division course designed for students who are pursuing a career in health, health education, or the health professions. This course will focus on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, mechanisms of drug action, evidenced-based medicine, organ-systems approach to differential therapeutics, and topics of current relevancy. In addition, students will present on a pharmacology case or topic of their choice.
Prerequisite:
HTHS 1111 and ZOOL 2200
-
2.00 Credits
Pathophysiology of Cells and Tissues is a course that will emphasize disease mechanisms and the body's response to restore homeostasis by presenting an orientation to disease as disordered physiology. This course describes the etiology, developmental considerations, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of disease processes. Units of study focus on the interactions of cellular injury mechanisms, genetic disorders, neoplasia, and inflammatory and immune disorders. WSU Online class only.
Prerequisite:
HTHS 1111 and ZOOL 2200
-
2.00 Credits
Pathophysiology of Organs and Systems is a course that will emphasize the mechanisms of disordered physiology that underlie disease conditions by analyzing the mechanism(s) of different disease states. Particular attention will be given to etiology, pathogenesis, developmental and environmental influences, and clinical manifestations. Units of study focus on the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, musculoskeletal, and reproductive systems. WSU Online class only.
Prerequisite:
HTHS 1111 and ZOOL 2200
