Medical Knowledge IV credit:

3 Hours

Provides an integrated examination of pharmacology and therapeutic interventions in human disease. Students explore how pharmaceuticals interact with biological systems to treat disease and improve patient outcomes, emphasizing mechanisms of action, drug-body interactions, and therapies for infectious diseases. Rather than memorizing individual medications, students will focus on the biological basis of therapeutic strategies and their clinical application. Through patient-centered, case-based learning, students will develop evidence-based clinical reasoning skills essential for future healthcare professionals. Enrollment in Medical Knowledge IV alongside other courses in the Medical Knowledge sequence is not recommended, as the course content is designed to be cumulative and sequential. 3 undergraduate hours. No graduate credit.
