Description
Students apply basic anatomy and physiology principles to current public health problems. Students learn through specific reading assignments, individual activities, whole class discussions, short objective tests as well as case studies. Brief, supplementary presentations focus on seminal discoveries and current research topics in the public health field.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
  1. Describe, in general terms, the structure and function of the major organ systems of the human body, using the language of the biomedical sciences
  2. Discuss examples in which anatomy and physiology topics have been applied to specific, public health-related problems
  3. Demonstrate the importance of working together as a multidisciplinary public health team
  4. Develop a first network of fellow students, faculty and professional colleagues
Special Comments

Scheduled the last two weeks before August orientation activities. Registrants must indicate this course on their FIRST term registrations, NOT their summer registrations.
