4.00 Credits
Pathophysiology is the systematic study of abnormal cell and organ function. The goal in medical practice is to rationally and systematically assess this abnormal function when making a diagnosis, and then to reverse the pathological process using therapy. This course will introduce the physician assistant student to normal and abnormal function of cells in general; and then how these cellular abnormalities affect function of certain organ systems. The systems to be covered include: musculoskeletal, thyroid, liver, pancreas, heart/circulatory and renal. The students will also be introduced to laboratory markers of abnormal organ function. Using the knowledge acquired in this class, the students will predict common clinical and laboratory manifestations of important disease states. (Third-year Physician Assistant program status) (Corequisites 1032-401, 420, 440) Class 4, Credit 4 (F)

4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of 1032-424 and will introduce the physician assistant student to normal and abnormal function of cells and organ function. The systems to be covered this quarter include the renal(continued), hematologic, and immunologic systems. In addition, students will be introduced to mechanisms and manifestations of neoplasia, and general principles of cancer diagnosis. The students will be introduced to laboratory markers of abnormal organ function. Using the knowledge acquired in this class, the students will work in small groups and present the results of their critical evaluation of assigned clinical case presentations. (Third-year Physician Assistant program status; 1032-424, corequisites: 1032-402, 421,441) Class 4, Credit 4 (W)
