Physiologic Basis of Disease

This course entails the study of disease at molecular, cellular, and organ levels. It provides a foundation for understanding the etiologies and pathogenesis of diseases. It facilitates the interpretation of the changes induced by stimuli, correlating the microscopic and macroscopic changes with the manifestations of diseases and ultimately with a diagnosis. The knowledge gained from the study of these mechanisms will form the basis for therapeutic approaches, drug interaction and dependence.
