Normal physiological functions are emphasized, and relevant disease etiologies and dysfunctional systems will be emphasized to prepare students for health professions. The faculty member will oversee and supervise concurrent laboratories taught by graduate teaching assistants; these labs will familiarize students with anatomical and physiological principles discussed in lecture through observation, experiments and dissections.
