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.
