This 1-credit hour human physiology laboratory course is designed for current and former students of PGY 206, Elementary Physiology. This course is designed to encourage concept development and integration via application and hypothesis testing. This human physiology laboratory course will take a virtual pragmatic learning approach utilizing healthcare simulation, experimental and clinical data sets, and computer modeling to conduct physiology experiments.
PGY 394 is designed to provide students with an intensive experience in laboratory or field research. Participants should take an active role in the design and execution of experiments and in the analysis and interpretation of data. They should be capable of "independent research" in the sense that they can conduct the experiments with little direct supervision. Students are expected to become familiar with related research in the current literature by regularly reading scientific journals.
The objective of this course is to provide the basic physiological mechanisms of human body function and physiological integration of the organ systems to maintain homeostasis. Students will be learning what the different organ systems do and how they do it. With this knowledge a student should be able to form a general understanding of how the body functions in health and disease. The general purpose of the lectures is to reinforce and expand upon the material presented in the text, with a focus on concepts and problem solving skills.
This online course surveys the consequences of evolution on human function and disease. Lecture materials, online discussions, and reading and writing assignments will expand on examples of the repercussions of evolutionary processes on health.
Advanced study of the role of hormones in the physiologic regulation of vertebrate organ systems. One or two specific areas of endocrinology will be selected by the instructor. Emphasis will be placed on critical analysis and discussion of the experimental basis for current theories of the mechanisms whereby hormones modulate physiologic processes. Readings will be taken from the literature. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
May be repeated to a maximum of 15 credits.
May be repeated to a maximum of 15 credits.
Detailed examination of current, significant topics in pharmacology such as: contemporary neuroscience methodology, molecular and cellular pharmacodynamics, transmembrane signaling. Course is designed to offer flexibility to students in different tracks, different emphasis in a given year and to utilize the special research interests in resident and visiting investigators. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
