Applied Medical Science 1 - MEDI910
In this unit, students will develop a foundational understanding of several body systems and regions. Students will come to understand the biomedical sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, pathology, embryology, histology, microbiology, and pharmacology) and how they relate to the normal structures and functions of the body systems as well as how the body systems are altered in common or clinically significant disease states. Students will consider how the body’s inflammatory and immune responses contribute to pathology, as well as how drugs and other treatments are used to manage or prevent disease. Students will evaluate clinical case studies individually and in small groups to identify questions and learning needs and will draw upon evidence from a range of sources (including medical scientific literature) to articulate responses to clinical scenarios.
