Program Course Descriptions ANA 5713—Histology Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of the cells, tissues, and organs of the body. In this course, the normal light microscopic anatomy of the body is presented and correlated with its function. Histology is a course that serves as a bridge between the disciplines of physiology, gross anatomy, and pathology. (3 credits) ANA 5723—Neuroanatomy This course examines the structural, functional, and developmental features of the human nervous system with reference to different disease states. It includes the study of the spinal cord, brain stem, and cerebrum. (3 credits) ANA 5727—Anatomy This course covers the study of the general anatomical and functional features of the major systems of the human body. These include the skeletal system, muscular system, peripheral nervous system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, urogenital system, head, and neck. There will be emphasis on clinical implications and how disease and/or injury affect normal anatomical structure/function relationships. (3 credits) BCH 5735—Biochemistry This course covers primarily biochemical reactions and pathways of normal human health. It introduces functions of the important carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and enzyme properties. It also covers the normal pathways of cell metabolism and their molecular controls. The molecular biology of DNA replication, transcription, and translation are also discussed. Genetics and biochemical cell biology are introduced, as well as genomics as it relates to biomedical sciences. Additionally, the course introduces functions of the important carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and properties of enzymes in metabolism. Cell and molecular biology related to metabolism will be discussed, with clinical references to normal and diseased states. (3 credits) CHS 5200—Financial Environment in Complex Health Systems Students will gain a working knowledge of and understanding of the flow of funds among the continuum of main stakeholders in complex health systems. The course addresses sustainable sources of reimbursement available to develop and maintain a variety of business models, settings, and organizational structures. (3 credits) HPH 7400—Research Design This course prepares students to evaluate pharmaceutical procedures and practices from a scientific viewpoint. Students will learn to identify issues requiring additional investigation and to design research that efficiently and effectively addresses those issues. By the end of the course, students will prepare a first draft of a research proposal. (3 credits) MBS 5705—Test Preparation This course provides opportunities for students to review material and prepare for graduate and professional school entrance exams. It provides techniques and strategies to be successful on standardized exams. In partnership with Kaplan®, students have access to synchronous and asynchronous instruction, with additional resources for exam preparation.

Students will explore career specialties, practice giving feedback to themselves and others, and learn good practices in leadership and patient care. Students will also practice interview skills. (3 credits) MBS 5801—Personalized Medicine This course covers the basic principles and the current approaches in personalized medicine to deliver the right medicine to the right people at the right time. It focuses on how state-of-the-art approaches are being used to understand the biological basis of common human diseases and to develop new treatments for these diseases. The course also covers personalized therapy approaches for different diseases, including pharmacogenomics, nutrigenomics, stem cells and regenerative medicine. (3 credits) MBS 5803—Oral Histology This course is designed to provide broad exposure to the basic development and histology of anatomic structures that form the maxillofacial complex. Clinical and diagnostic procedures, concepts, and pathology that depend on the understanding of these structures will be introduced. (1 credit)
