Course Overview
This course further examines the human body: cardiac, respiratory, digestive, renal, neurological (incl special senses), endocrine, and reproductive systems. Fluid and pH homeostasis are studied to exemplify regulation and integration of body systems. In the seminars, case studies and other active learning techniques are used to integrate knowledge across body systems and to develop critical thinking skills essential to clinical practice. Evaluation of learning is conducted through weekly seminar quizzes, exams, as well as in-class practice and participation.
