PHCY 4110:   Hum. Physiology/Pathophysio I  
School of Pharmacy  
The students will understand the consequences of disease on normal physiology, as well as physiological dysfunction as the mechanism of disease. An in-depth study of the pathophysiological condition will equip the students to assess multi-organ system dysfunction. Objective and subjective manifestations of common health problems resulting from the environmental, genetic, and stress-related maladaptations are assessed and analyzed. These basic understandings will enable the students to progress through the curriculum with a knowledge and analytical base necessary to excel during their clinical experiences. Ultimately, the factual material will provide the basis and rationale for selective pharmacotherapy and the understanding of its use in varying disease states.

PHCY 6060:   Population and Rural Health  
The purpose of this course is to introduce student pharmacists to population health – that is, the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group at local, national, and international levels. This course will also examine the rural burden of disease including health profile, determinants of rural health, and strategies to improve rural population health. The focus of this course is on pharmacists’ roles in population and rural health outcomes, identifying and addressing patterns of health determinants, and policies and interventions that link these topics. Students will learn from diverse scholars and practitioners through readings, facilitated discussions, guest lectures, and panel presentations. One of the major goals of the course will be to enable students to apply the concepts underlying the trends in health care to the health status of populations in their clinical settings as well as in integrated delivery systems of the future.
