The first course in a two-part series devoted to the study of human anatomy and physiology. It is designed to provide students with essential knowledge of the major anatomical regions, structures of the human body, important physiologic functions, and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. Concepts of development, metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance are included. It uses a system and an intersystem approach, with correlation to disease processes. The course covers topography, internal structures, and functions with correlations to diagnostic modalities currently used by practitioners to establish correct diagnoses and appropriate therapies. Case studies wll illustrate the anatomical findings in the classical clinical presentations of the most common chief complaints. Topics covered include the head and neck, the skin, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal & hepaic systems, male genitourinary and female genitourinary.

The second course in a two-part series. It provides a continuation of the study of anatomy and physiology from a clinical aspect. It is designed to provide students with essential knowledge of the major anatomical regions, structures of the body, and the important physiologic functions, and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. It uses a system and an intersystem approach covering topography, internal structures, and functions. The major anatomic features and physiologic functions of the human organism will be examined and discussed, with correlations to diagnostic modalities currently used by practitioners to establish correct diagnoses and appropriate therapies. Case studies will illustrate the anatomical findings in the classical clinical presentations of the most common chief complaints. Topics covered include the musculoskeletal system, the neurological system, and the endocrine system.

3.00 Credits
This course is designed to expose students to legal and ethical dilemmas faced in medical practice. Material presented addresses contemporary ethical and legal issues faced by practicing physician assistants, and their responsibilities as part of the health care team. The course presents approaches that facilitate thinking through the complexities of ethical issues in clinical practice. Professional responsibility, privileging, patient confidentiality, informed consent, and patient welfare are also covered. In addition, representative opinions are offered. The format will include assigned readings, reflection papers, class discussion and presentations. Topics include death and dying decisions, informed consent, decisional capacity, cultural and religious beliefs, euthanasia and assisted suicide, genetic screening, and the use of humans in clinical research. The course also covers some of the historical events that have influenced decision in health care.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is part one of a two-part series, and introduces the student to methods used in research that will form the basis for students to critically analyze evidence-based medical literature. The course is designed to increase the student knowledge of research in the medical profession. Students will recognize the relevance and value of research in the development of the profession. In addition, student will become familiar with common tools used in research. Topics include the research process, types of research, sampling, reliability and validity, research design, methods of measurement, data collection, statistical analysis, IRB application and approval, collection, and data presentation methods.
-
2.00 Credits
This is the second course in a two-part series. It involves a practicum which requires students to utilize information gained from Research I to critically analyze evidence-based literature. Students will be required to evaluate the methods used in research literature and the reliability of the findings. In addition, students will also make recommendations which could improve the research process. Students will also understand the essential requirements for a research paper and discuss APA and AMA paper format.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the application of basic biochemistry to the disease process, medical diagnosis, and management. The course gives an overview of the structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleotides. In addition, the clinical effects of enzymatic deficiencies, and the genetic and metabolic manifestation of disease are addressed.
-
3.00 Credits
The first course in a two-part series providing introduction to the study of disease as a manifestation of pathophysiology. The course covers a review of relevant normal structure and function of systems in the human body. This is followed by a study of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie several diseases related to that system. Explication of signs and symptoms of each disease state, and an essential framework for later student mastery of treatment strategies are addressed. Topics covered include cardiovascular, hematologic pulmonary, skin, gastrointestinal, musculoskelatal and endocrine disease.

3.00 Credits
The second course in a two-part series that presents a continuing study of disease as a manifestation of pathophysiology. The course covers a review of relevant normal structure and function of systems in the human body. This is followed by a study of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie several diseases related to that system. Explication of signs and symptoms of each disease state, and an essential framework for later student mastery of treatment strategies are presented. Topics covered include disorders of the immune, genetic, nervous system, renal system, female reproductive tract and male reproductive tract.
