Medical Mysteries

3 Credits

Everything is a mystery until it is solved, including in medicine. This course begins with an exploration of historical medical mysteries and discussion of what happened after they were solved as a foundation for understanding the present. Students will then learn what differential diagnosis is and what happens when it leaves you with nothing. The course culminates in an examination of a series of current medical mystery case studies in the realms of physical, mental, and spiritual health. Prerequisites: CGH 103
