Case Studies in Health Sciences (3) F, S Case Studies in Health Sciences is a WSU Online course designed for students wishing to explore the interdisciplinary nature of health care using case study models. Each case study focuses on a disease process. Progression through each case study involves a review of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, medical terminology and a study of health professionals including their educational and tiaining requirements. Additionally, the student will explore key medical diagnostic tests (e.g. laboratory, imaging) used in patient disease diagnosis, management and prevention. The course emphasizes the importance of the team approach to patient care. Prerequisites: HTHS 1101, HTHS 1105 and 1106 or HTHS LSI 110 and HTHS 1111 or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. WSU Online class only. HTHS 1130. Common Medicines (3) (offered only as needed) This is an introductory course and will provide information regarding proper drug usage for persons without significant backgrounds in the Biological Sciences. The course primarily discusses over- the-counter medicines as well as prescription drug groups which are commonly used by the public. The overall objective will be to provide information in such a way that individuals are more aware of possible drug-related problems, able to make wise and appropriate choices, and become well-informed consumers. HTHS 2230. Introductory Pathophysiology (3) 5m, F, S An introduction to the nature of disease and its effect on body systems. Prerequisite: Completion of anatomy and physiology courses with a grade of "C" or better. HTHS 2231. Introductory Pathophysiology Lab (1) Su, F, S Laboratory and computer exercises involving analysis of both clinical and laboratory data. Students evaluate signs, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of various pathological conditions and diseases. One two-hour laboratory per week. Co-requisite: HTHS 2230. HTHS 2240/3240. Introduction to Pharmacology (3) Su, F, S Introductory pharmacology course which covers pharmacological principles including modes of action, uses, modes of excretion, and patient side effects of various drug classes. The drugs are presented in a "system approach" with emphasis on medications utilized in diagnosing and treating diseases associated with the various body systems. Class format includes a 3 hour lecture class with students participating in oral presentations and case studies. Students taking the 3240 course for upper division will also be required to write a 10 page paper on an application of pharmacological principle applied to a drug class. Students taking HTHS 2240 cannot take HTHS 3240 for credit. Recommended Prerequisites: HTHS 1101, HTHS LSI 110 and HTHS 1111. HTHS 2830. Health Sciences Directed Readings (1-3) F, S Directed Readings in Health Sciences areas. Must have departmental approval. HTHS TD2904. Information Resources in the Health Professions (1) Intended for students interested in the health professions, this one-credit hour course will assist in developing information literacy and research skills. Students completing this course will be able to use an academic library and the Internet to successfully identify, access, evaluate and use information resources to support academic and clinical success and lifelong learning. Emphasis is placed on resources in the health sciences. Completion of this course meets part D of the WSU Computer and Information Literacy requirement. Cross-listed as LIBS TD2904. HTHS 2990. Health Sciences Seminar (1) F, S Presentations, group discussions and analysis of selected topics, designed to prepare the Health Science major for career opportunities in the job market and applying for Health Professions professional programs. HTHS 3328. Pathophysiology of Cells and Tissues (2) F, S Biological interactions among cellular injuries, genetic disorders, neoplasia and inflammatory and immune disorders. A course in anatomy and physiology and/or pathophysiology with a "C" or better is strongly recommended. WSU Online class only. HTHS 3329. Pathophysiology of Organs and Systems (2) F, S Interpretation of disease pathogenesis and pathological symptoms. A course in anatomy and physiology and/or pathophysiology with a "C" or better is strongly recommended. WSU Online class only. HTHS 4010. Interdisciplinary Health Care Teams (3) This course provides an interdisciplinary experience with the team concept as a priority. The students learn the role of the health care team members, each with their different skills and objectives. The course teaches students to practice an interdisciplinary approach as they research, interact and leam in the interdisciplinary environment of a health care setting. Cross-listed with DENT and NRSG. HTHS 4850. Study Abroad (1-6) Variable Title The purpose of this course is to provide opportunities for students in health professions to experience a study abroad program that is designed to explore healthcare, culture, and clinical experience.
