Students in this course will be exposed to key areas of biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiology, which are prerequisite to the understanding of physiological control mechanisms fundamental to modern medical practice. Integration of information and its application to clinical situations is emphasized. This is a graduate-level course that is designed and operated as intended for veterinary students, with the explicit expectation that each participating student has a priori general understanding of systems-based physiological functioning. This course will cover select pharmaco-physiological concepts/dynamics that are critical to proper functioning in healthy animals.
