Students will study theories relating to the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of human disease processes. The focus is on the fundamental principles of homeostatic mechanisms and how alterations in homeostatic mechanisms disrupt the human body. Overall mechanisms of disease will be studied by systems and have been categorized into concepts. These concepts will be examined for the effect that they produce on the structure and function of the body. Common diseases will be used to illustrate each concept. Clinical practice and Health and Healing courses will provide the opportunity for students to apply knowledge to client situations. Students will engage in-class activities, online discussions, readings and computer animations as a basis for knowledge acquisition.
