Biochemistry

This course emphasizes concepts in cell and molecular biology and human nutrition. This course includes lectures and workshops which utilize small group discussions focusing on clinical case studies to illustrate principles of clinical biochemistry.

This course emphasizes principles and concepts of structure-function relationships in major biomolecules and human metabolism. This course includes lectures and workshops which utilize small group discussions focusing on clinical case studies to illustrate principles of clinical biochemistry.

This course is devoted to introducing the foundation of human genetics. Topics include normal transmission of dominant and recessive genetic traits, sex-linked/autosomal-linked inheritance, common genetic defects and diseases, inheritance patterns and probabilities, genetic mapping, common risk factors in inherited/acquired genetic diseases, family counseling, and family planning issues.

This course provides a foundation for basic science courses concerned with normal and pathologic human physiology, biochemistry, cytology, histology, pharmacology, and nutrition. Topics include cellular energy metabolism, signal transduction, neurotransmitter synthesis and degradation, cellular energetics, foundations of molecular biology, nutrition, and metabolism in differentiated tissues and organs.

The objective of this course is to equip the physician assistant with the knowledge needed to apply nutritional principles to preventive medicine and various common pathologies. Additional topics include clinical problem solving skills, statistics in clinical decision making, blood clotting, the role of nutrition in different anemias, diabetes mellitus, the hyperlipidemias, and factors affecting blood chemistries.

This course features lectures on basic concepts in biochemistry, cell biology and metabolism, along with small group activities that highlight these biochemical concepts through clinical case studies. Clinical correlations are featured in lectures and interpretation of laboratory data is emphasized. Integration of carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism, and organ specific metabolism in health and disease are discussed.

This course features lectures on human nutrition, molecular biology and genetics in normal development and diseases, including the medical genetics of hereditary disorders and cancer. Clinical correlations are featured in lectures and interpretation of laboratory data using clinical case studies are emphasized in workshops that involve small groups.

This course provides an introduction to cell and tissue biology and metabolism, focusing on the structure and function of normal human tissue and organs. The student gains a basic science framework to apply to physical therapy intervention. Application of this material helps students understand: 1) growth and development of human cells, tissues, organs and organ systems; 2) functional differences in cells, tissues, organs and organ systems; 3) tissue healing and repair; 4) response of tissue to therapeutic intervention.
