MED 237 - Cardiopulmonary & Renal II

This course will focus on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and genitourinary organ systems. Within each of these organ systems, students will learn about relevant pathology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine. Examples of topics included in this course are clinical pathology, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, clinical presentation, clinical diagnosis, and treatment/management of major diseases of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and genitourinary system. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to recognize presenting signs and symptoms of various cardiovascular, pulmonary, and genitourinary diseases. An emphasis will be made on understanding how these three organ systems are integrated and how abnormalities within one of these organ systems can affect the others. An emphasis also will be made on understanding how a presenting symptom could be related to an underlying cardiovascular, pulmonary, or renal disease.
