COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

The students will:

1.  Develop a deeper and broader perspective of the intricacies of

   human body structure and function.

2.  As a result of 1, significantly increase their appreciation, not

   only for the human body, but for the rationale behind practices

   and procedures currently employed by clinical medical science.

3.  As a result of 1, acquire a relatively detailed knowledge which

   can be recalled, as needed, in future career-related course work,

   and in clinical learning situations.

4.  As a result of 1, develop and experience a greater sense of confidence

   in functioning within clinical settings.

5.  Further develop a sense of academic integrity and respect for

   scienctific reasoning, as acquired through repeated observations of

   the instructor's behavior.

6.  Acquire a clearer perspective of his own academic potential in

   relation to his chosen career.

7.  Increase his capacity to assimilate, digest, and correlate relatively

   large amounts of information in a relatively short span of time,

   presumedly increasing his potential to benefit more from future

   training sessions.

Topics and Scope

1.  Basic principles of chemistry.

2.  Basic principles of physics.

3.  Mathematical concepts.

4.  Anatomy and physiology.
