OMED 6065 Circulation, Respiration and Regulation
This unit allows learners to explore how the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal systems regulate the body’s homeostatic functions and apply this knowledge to the diagnosis, treatment and management of both acute and chronic diseases caused by abnormal functions of these systems. This integration of basic sciences with osteopathic clinical skills occurs through learner participation in case-based learning, simulation activities, and community engagement projects that emphasize pertinent biomedical, bioethical, and public health principles. Each learner’s professional identity formation as an osteopathic physician continues in this unit through an emphasis on how health care teams work in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases that impact regulatory functions. Learners are challenged to understand how the practice of self-care, awareness, and lifestyle modifications can regulate wellness in the individual and community.
