Soderberg; Assistant Professor: Kraig Chugg, Curtis DeFriez; Instructor: Louise Tate; Adjunct Faculty: Brent Richardson, LeAnne Gundy, Kathryn Newton HEALTH SCIENCES CORE COURSES - HTHSCI HthSci 1001. A Case Study Approach to the Health Sciences (2) A Case Study Approach to the Health Sciences is a WSU Online course designed for students wishing to explore health professional career paths 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 training 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. HthSci 1101. Medical Terminology (2) F, S Medical terms of Greek and Latin origin. Designed for the pre- professional and workers in health related fields. HthSci 1105. Technology Enhanced Anatomy & Physiology (4) F This course teaches fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology that are required for further studies in nursing, allied health, and related disciplines. It is designed to be offered in a technology-enhanced environment (via Ednet to off-campus sites). Four hours of Ednet and two hours of laboratory/recitation per week. HthSci 1106. Technology Enhanced Anatomy & Physiology (continued) (4) S Prerequisite: Hthsci 1105. Four hours of Ednet and two hours of laboratory/recitation per week. HthSci 1108. Biocalculations for Health Professions (5) Fundamental mathematical concepts using health professions applications will be taught. Topics include: basic arithmetic, pre- algebra, beginning algebra, geometry, and statistics applied to solutions, dosage calculations, electrolytes, acid base balance, circulatory and urinary function, pulmonary function testing and energy and metabolism. This course does not meet the University's quantitative literacy requirement. HthSci LSI 110. Biomedical Core Lecture/Lab (4) Su, F, S An integrated presentation of the basic concepts of physics, chemistry, human anatomy, human physiology and medical microbiology as related to humans. Biomedical Core is global and interdisciplinary while remaining introductory. Three lecture demonstrations per week. Two lab hours per week. Students completing the Biomedical Core LSI 110 receive aedit for 4 aedit hours in the Life Sciences general education requtements. HthSci 1111. Biomedical Core Lecture/Lab (continued) (4) Su, F, S Prerequisite: Hthsci 1110. Three lecture demonstrations per week. Two lab hours per week. HthSci 1115. Biomedical Principles for Certificate of Completion for Paramedics (4) Basic biomedical principles essential for effective administration of emergency health care in field based situations. An independent study course open only to students in the Emergency Care and Rescue Program. HthSci 1130. Common Medicines (3) F, S 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. HthSci 2230. Introductory Pathophysiology (3) Su, F, S An introduction to the nature of disease and its effect on body systems. Prerequisite: Completion of anatomy and Physiology course/s with a grade of "C" or better. HthSci 2231. Introductory Pathophysiology Laboratory (1) 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: HthSci 2230. HthSci 2240/3240. Introduction to Pharmacology (3) 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 HthSci 2240 cannot take HthSci 3240 for credit. Recommended Prerequisites: HthSci 1101, HthSci 1110 and HthSci 1111. HthSci 3328. Pathophysiology of Cells and Tissues (2) F, S Biological interactions among cellular injuries, genetic disorders, neoplasia, and inflammatory and immune disorders. A 7.5 week course that can be taken in conjunction with HthSci 3329. (It may be taken without 3329.) Prerequisite: HthSci LSI 110 with a grade of "C" or better or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. WSU Online class only. HthSci 3329. Pathophysiology of Organs and Systems (2) F, S Interpretation of disease pathogenesis and pathological symptoms. A 7.5 week course that can be taken in conjunction with HthSci 3328. (It may be taken without 3328.) Prerequisite: HthSci LSI 111 with a grade of "C" or better or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. WSU Online class only. HthSci 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 learn in the interdisciplinary environment of a health care setting.
