DPT 5024 Foundations of Medical Anatomy
Students will increase their knowledge of the primary developmental patterns and structural composition of the human form. In addition to an increase in their anatomical knowledge, students will learn to correlate anatomical form with clinical manifestations of dysfunction of the primary body systems such as, but not limited to, the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Genetic, molecular, histological, and embryological disorders which manifest themselves as anatomical dysfunction will also be discussed within the context of the course. While the course is designed to be an EXTENSION of material from an undergraduate anatomy course, this course would satisfy the pre-requisite anatomy requirement for the DPT program. Prerequisite: Accepted into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program.
