Total Contact Hours:
46.5 hours
Course Director:
Michel J. Markus, M.D., Clinical Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine
Course Description:
Part of the triad of cardiovascular and renal systems courses, the respiratory course focuses on acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory system and how they interface with the other two organ systems. Building upon the physiologic principles of breathing and gas exchange, the course introduces disease states, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic approaches.
Course Learning Goals, Assessment, Practice, Teaching and Learning Activities, and their Integration with the Institutional Educational Objectives:
|
What does our institution want our graduates to do? |
If your students mastered the content of your course, what would they be able to do? |
What will students need to do for them and others (peers, professors) to know whether they have achieved this specific learning goal? |
How will students get the information they need to learn? |
