Students who are interested to explore in on independent studies will meet with the instructor on a regular basis to develop customized studies on various potential topics on the history of biomedical research in Paris, or the role of biochemical research on driving progress in human diseases prevention, tissue repair, as well as potential impacts on future medicine.

OSPPARIS 88P: Our Genomes - Vive la Difference!
The human genome carries the instructions for normal human development and reproduction. But it also carries predispositions to disease, and clues to our evolution, ancestry, and identity. The genome may also be pliable to environmental influences and genetic engineering. Through directed readings, activities and Paris field trips, students will learn about the human genome and applications of genome science and technology across diverse disciplines including medicine, comparative and evolutionary biology, paternity testing and forensics. A particular emphasis will be France's contributions to genome science, and uniquely French perspectives on the ethical, legal, and societal implications. The broad goal is to become informed and engaged about genome science and its impact on both the individual and society.

PAS 201: Foundations of Clinical Medicine
This course explores fundamental concepts of biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and immunology as applied to clinical medicine in a mostly "flipped classroom" format. This course will help to establish a foundation for understanding the pathophysiology of disease and the targets for therapeutic interventions. Discipline topics include: Biochemistry: thermodynamics, enzyme kinetics, vitamins and cofactors, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides, and the integration of metabolic pathways. Genetics: basic principles of inheritance and risk assessment, illustrated with the use of clinical examples from many areas of medicine including prenatal, pediatric, adult and cancer genetics. Microbiology: Basic bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology, including pathogenesis and clinical scenarios associated with infectious diseases. Immunology: concepts and applications of adaptive and innate immunity and the role of the immune system in human disease. Enrollment is limited to MSPA students.

PAS 212: Principles of Clinical Medicine I
This is the first in a four-course sequence presenting organ-system based physiology, pathology and pathophysiology. Each organ-specific block includes a review of the anatomy and related histology, normal function of that organ system, how the organ system is affected by and responds to disease, and how diseases of that organ system are treated. In
PAS 212, the focus is on the structure, function, disease and corresponding therapeutics of several "primary care" topics, particularly the musculoskeletal and dermatologic systems. In addition, basic neurology, otorhinolaryngology, and ophthalmology will be covered.
