Because the source of all health problems ultimately originates at the cellular level, a comprehensive understanding of human disease and pathologies requires one to know the normal cell structure and function and how dysfunction translates into human pathologies. 最初, the course uses text and primary literature to establish foundational and contemporary knowledge of normal cell structure and function. 在此基础上建立, students will apply their cellular knowledge to the analysis of clinical case studies of human pathologies and evaluate the use of current and prospective treatments.MDS-611:人类疾病遗传学.00)
Students will gain a mastery of linking molecular genetic changes to human disease phenotypes. This course will revisit concepts of Mendelian genetics and apply the various complex patterns of heritable traits. 学生将研究真核生物的基因组织, structure and function by analyzing the levels of central dogma with genomic and transcriptomic data in model organisms and humans. Students will evaluate how molecular and cellular changes can be determinants of various human diseases. Students will gain an understanding of how therapeutic interventions manipulate genetic and cellular machinery. Students will utilize a well-annotated genome browser and analyze primary literature to understand human genetic disease diagnosis, 预后与治疗.
MDS-613:健康与疾病寄生虫学.00)
This course examines the biology of parasites of major medical importance. Students will learn how parasites are transmitted to their host(s) and the pathologies that are generated from host-parasite interactions. 学生还将研究寄生虫感染的流行病学, as well as the methods for diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infections.
MDS-614:生物统计学.00)
This course will explore statistical methods and principles necessary for understanding and interpreting data used in medical sciences and medical policy formation. 课程主题包括描述性统计, 图形数据汇总, 抽样, 组间统计比较, 相关, 和回归. 本课程包括讲座, 小组讨论, 批判性阅读已发表的研究成果, analysis of data as well as case studies to discuss problems and applications of biostatistics. The course will conclude with a survey of areas of current biostatistical research approaches.MDS-617:免疫学(3.00)
Students will learn the molecular and cellular components of the immune system. 本课程将研究免疫系统的细胞和组织, the function of key receptors and interactions between various immune cells. 我们会讲到免疫系统的发展, 先天免疫和获得性免疫, 涉及免疫的疾病和治疗, 免疫缺陷, 和自身免疫. 在此基础上建立, students will apply their knowledge to analyze data from scientific research and evaluate the use of current and prospective treatments and drug therapies.
MDS-620:解剖学和生理学I与实验室(4).00)
This course and lab covers human anatomy and physiology from an integrative perspective. 学生学习乐器的结构和功能, 骨骼, 肌肉发达的, 和神经系统, 从细胞到有机体. In addition, the course covers disease pathology as it relates to these systems and bioethics.医学与健康专业成功(2.00)
在这门课程中，学生学习技能, attributes and attitudes necessary to succeed in the healthcare professions. 通过课外阅读, 小组讨论, 以及书面反思, students identify and cultivate the necessary strengths to excel as applicants to medical and health professions programs, 作为严格的专业课程的学习者, 作为医疗从业人员. Students also become familiar with healthcare delivery in the United States, 包括医疗小组成员及其作用. Students are introduced to the basic clinical skills used in patient interactions, 包括有效地采访病人, 检查病人, 共同决策.
MDS-625:神经生物学.00)
This course examines foundational principles in cellular neuroscience from a microscopic to a macroscopic level. 这包括神经细胞的结构和功能, their electrophysiological nature and the various extracellular and intracellular signaling used to communicate within the nervous system. The course will cover the major systems and pathways that regulate behavior and sensation, explore modern neuroimaging techniques and utilize primary literature to understand current topics in the field.
