Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine—M.B.S. Program 617 MBS 5804—Oral Pathology This course covers the basic pathologic processes of human disease, with a scientific foundation in etiology, pathogenesis, morphologic alterations, and effects of diseases of the organ systems. It emphasizes bone pathology and relevant disease states that affect the orofacial region. (2 credits) MBS 5805—Nutrition This course focuses on connecting the basic nutrition information from physiology and biochemistry with the clinical practice of medicine using an innovative, integrated approach to nutrition education for future health care providers and community members. It emphasizes the significant role that food choices and nutrition play in preventing and managing obesity and associated diseases in the United States to help understand the impact of food on health. ( 3 credits) MBS 5806—General Pathology This course focuses on the foundational knowledge of the causes and mechanisms of various disease processes and the related local and systemic body responses. It introduces the students to the pathological basis of cell injury, cellular adaptation, intracellular accumulations, inflammation, tissue repair, hemodynamic disorders, genetic disorders, immunological disorders, neoplasia, and environmental diseases. Prerequisites: ANA 5713, MIC 5727 (3 credits) MBS 5807—Bioethics This course serves as an introduction to the field of bioethics. Students will become familiar with the terminology, resources, and main principles/frameworks used in bioethics. Topics will be oriented toward the health care professions and biomedical research. Through the use of active-learning strategies, students will develop ethical problem-solving skills. Ethical topics that will be discussed include patient care, interprofessional relationships, public health, social media, and research. (3 credits) MIC 5727—Microbiology and Immunology This course covers the principles and core concepts of microbiology and immunology. The features and properties of microorganisms, microbial metabolism, microbial pathogenesis, control of microbes, and laboratory identification will be discussed. In addition, this course will overview the essential principles of innate and adaptive immunity. Topics presented include the immune system’s organization, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in immune responses to self and nonself, hypersensitivity reactions, and immune dysfunctions. (3 credits) PCO 5504—Pharmacology This course introduces students to some of the core concepts in pharmacology and provides them with a thorough understanding of the classes of drugs commonly used in clinical practice. Emphasis will be on the mechanism of action, clinical indications, side effects, important drug interactions, and the basic pharmacokinetics of each drug class. Prerequisites: BCH 5735, MIC 5727, PHS 5500 (3 credits) PHS 5500—Physiology This course provides students with an understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological factors and processes responsible for the development, progression, and procreation of life. The course is presented from an organ systems approach. The areas covered include basic cellular physiology, muscle physiology, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the renal system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, and the endocrine system. The mechanisms of physiological and pathological processes and conditions relevant to medicine are also discussed. (3 credits) PTH 5600—Molecular Mechanisms of Disease This course provides a foundation in the understanding of the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying defined diseases, one of the key goals of contemporary medicine. General areas covered include introduction to basic laboratory techniques and animal models used to understand the molecular basis of selected diseases in humans; communication of biomedical research in scientific journals; basic and translational research in areas of cancer; genetic and metabolic disorders; infectious diseases; and cognitive, neuromuscular junction, and vision disorders. Prerequisites: BCH 5735, MIC 5727, PHS 5500 (3 credits) PUB 5902—Grant Development in the Public and Nonprofit Sector This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to write grant proposals by sourcing and selecting appropriate grant resources for public and nonprofit organizations. In addition to sourcing grants, the content includes how to manage grants and build relationships with grantors to achieve maximum long-term value. (3 credits)
