Health and Homeostasis

7 units

Module 1 is organized around the concepts of health and homeostasis, the ability of the body to maintain stable internal conditions despite changes in the external environment. Students will explore mechanisms by which the human body preserves a balanced state and the tools available to physicians to evaluate and support a patient’s health. The Module applies these concepts across the age spectrum and applies basic and clinical science, health systems, and social-behavioral considerations through four patient care well-visit scenarios.
