Advanced Physiology/Pathophysiology

4 Credits.

This course focuses on the interrelationship between physiology and pathophysiology that affect wellness and disease processes across the lifespan. Attention is directed to the influence of social determinants of health and the impact of stress-related maladaptation on the health of individuals and populations across the lifespan. With this knowledge, students will be able to interpret changes in normal functions that indicate illness and identify principles underlying disease prevention and treatment strategies. This course serves as the foundation for synthesis and application of physiology and pathophysiology to health conditions that students will utilize for learning in their program of study and their future role as advanced practice providers.
