PT 713 Structure & Function III

This tutorial-based course covers the structure and function of the normal and impaired cardiopulmonary and integumentary systems. Patient cases include not only problems of the cardiopulmonary and integumentary systems, but also the patient with complex, multisystem problems such as amputation, cancers, chronic pain, and frailty. The interactive effects of normal, pathological, developmental, or age-related and environmental influences on the ability to perform activities of daily living and on response to exercise are considered. The implications of pharmacologic use and interactions on the relevant systems and on exercise tolerance are also considered. Format: two three-hour tutorials per week and three large group discussions (75 minutes each) per week.
