GMED G671 - Cardiovascular/Pulmonary/Renal


Credits: 7

The Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and Renal module is an integrated multidisciplinary overview of major diseases of the heart, vasculature, lungs, kidney and lower urinary tract. This module builds upon knowledge learned in Year 1. Descriptions of the pathophysiological and histological processes associated with common cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal disease will be given through active lecture and case studies. Examples of other systems (e.g. endocrine) generating cardiopulmonary and renal disorders will be included. Disease etiology, clinical presentation, and evidence-based clinical management will be emphasized. Diagnostic techniques will be evaluated and compared with respect to the information they provide in the clinical analysis and treatment of these diseases. The educational format will include active lectures, self-learning modules, microscope laboratories and small-group learning.

Note: Restricted to medical students; Standard A-F grading
