8.00 Credit

This course presents the core elements of biochemistry, molecular biology, human genetics, and pharmacology in lectures, small-group case discussions and other teaching modalities.  The course will provide a basic understanding of the biochemical basis for physiological processes, the medical genetics required for diagnosing and managing hereditary diseases, and the effect that natural and synthetic chemicals (i.e., drugs) have on biological systems. Clinical relevance and self-directed learning are emphasized.
