DPT 5034 Foundations of Medical Physiology
This course will include detailed study of the physiology of the neuromuscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, endocrine, and gastrointestinal systems. Emphasis is placed on medical aspects of human physiology and how these conditions manifest themselves within the patient presentation of human disease. Students will use interactive computer modeling to simulate clinical scenarios and analyze normal and pathophysiological responses. The course, while designed to be an extension of knowledge from an undergraduate human physiology course for preparation for graduate level study, would meet pre-requisite requirements for physiology for graduate school application criteria. Prerequisite: Accepted into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program.
