Course overview
This course aims to develop an advanced understanding of the complex integration of multiple organ systems such as neural, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, renal and cardiovascular systems, and how they function in health, ageing and disease. By understanding the complex interaction of multiple physiological systems, learners will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills related to the maintenance of normal body function.
Course learning outcomes
- Demonstrate an understanding of the function of the digestive, immune, renal, nervous, and cardiovascular systems in humans
- Identify and describe how multiple physiological systems work together to contribute to whole body function
- Demonstrate an understanding of the changes in the interaction of multiple physiological systems in ageing and in disease
- Communicate complex concepts to different target populations while recognising professional, cultural and social diversity
- Demonstrate and apply problem solving skills that illustrate creative multidisciplinary approaches
