Defense & Response to Injury

7 units

Module 2 builds on the first module to broadly examine host defense and the ways complex systems can be compromised or fail and thereby contribute to loss of health. This foundational knowledge is first applied to the skin, but lays foundations for all the subsequent Phase 1 modules, which examine health and disease in the context of the other major organ systems of the body. Additionally, health and disease will be examined through the lens of social and structural determinants in most strands as the module progresses.
