Year One, Fall Semester (Before 2006)

ATMY 821 Human Anatomy and Embryology I (4). Study of the macroscopic structures of the human body. (Same as ANAT 821.) Prerequisite: Student in good standing in freshman class. FLD

ATMY 831 Cell and Tissue Biology I (3). A course, consisting of lectures and laboratories, devoted to the study of microscopic anatomy at the organ, tissue, cell and subcellular levels; lectures emphasize modern cell biological concepts and the correlation of structure with cell, tissue, and organ function; laboratories teach the identification of cells, tissues and organs and relate this information to functional concepts presented in lecture. (Same as ANAT 831.) Prerequisite: Student in good standing in freshman class. LEC

BIOC 801 Medical Biochemistry I (4). Includes a review of the structure, chemistry and metabolism of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, as well as sections on enzyme kinetics, bioenergetics, integrated metabolism, the biochemical basis of nutrition and molecular genetics. The molecular basis of disease is emphasized throughout the course. In addition to lectures, a series of small group discussions and clinical correlations relating biochemical principles and concepts to medical problems are led by biochemistry faculty and selected clinical faculty. Not applicable to a degree from the graduate school. LEC

ICM 801 Introduction to Clinical Medicine I (3). This course consists of two modules: Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP), and Clinical Skills I. HPDP presents and introduction to healthy growth and development across the lifespan. Through lectures, students examine the physician's role in promoting health in all its dimensions: physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social, and behavioral. Clinical Skills I helps students acquire and use the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a competent caring clinician. Through lectures demonstrations, tutorials, standardized patient encounters, and preceptor experiences, students learn and practice patient interviewing and physical examination. This module emphasizes the evaluation of the normal patient and the application of principles introduced in basic science courses (e.g., anatomy and physiology) to the physical exam. Students are evaluated through written examinations and other written assignments, small group presentations, preceptor activities, and standardized patient encounters. (Same as PRVM 801.) LEC

PHYS 801 Medical Physiology I (4). A course covering the mechanisms involved in the function of organ systems and their control by neural, humoral, and endocrine pathways. Lectures are combined with small group conferences, problem solving, and laboratory sessions. (Same as PHSL 801.) Prerequisite: Student in good standing in freshman class. LEC
