MPAS 501 - Foundations of Medical Science I

4.00 credit hours
This inaugural course in a series of three courses designed to develop a practical understanding of human anatomy, embryology histology, as well as normal physiology and the pathophysiologic concepts of diseases per organ system. Focus will be placed on clinically relevant aspects of human anatomy through an in-depth examination of anatomical structures and function using formal lecture and laboratory. Students will utilize the Anatomage Table to virtually dissect whole body cadavers, visualize histological anatomy, and student case-based pathophysiology. Importance will be placed on anatomical structures and normal structural and functional variants, spatial relationships among structures, functional interactions of organ systems and correlate to case-based clinical diseases. The lecture and lab sections correlate with topics covered in Clinical Medicine. Students will work together in teams to collaboratively solve problems, demonstrate critical thinking skills, and use their knowledge of normal and pathologic anatomy to answer questions and solve practical and clinical problems.
