Biomedical Principles for Certificate of Completion for Paramedics (4) Basic biomedical principles essential for effective administration of emergency health care in field-based situations. A WSU Online course required for students who are applying to the Emergency Care and Rescue program. This course is designed to meet the Anatomy and Physiology prerequisite for the Institutional Certificate in Paramedic. HTHS 1120. Case Studies in Health Sciences (3) 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 induding 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. Prerequisites: HTHS 1101, HTHS 1105 and 1106 or HTHS 1110 and 1111 or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. WSU Online class only. HTHS 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. HTHS 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 courses with a grade of "C" or better. HTHS 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: HTHS 2230. HTHS 2240/3240. Introduction to Pharmacology (3) Introductory pharmacology course which covers pharmacological principles including modes of adion, uses, modes of excretion, and patient side effects of various drug dasses. 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 indudes a 3 hour lecture class with students partidpating 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 prindple applied to a drug class. Students taking HTHS 2240 cannot take HTHS 3240 for credit. Recommended Prerequisites: HTHS 1101, HTHS 1110 and HTHS 1111. HTHS 2830. Health Sciences Directed Readings (1-3) Directed Readings in Health Sdences areas. Must have departmental approval. HTHS 2990. Health Sciences Seminar (1) Presentations, group discussions and analysis of selected topics, designed to prepare the Health Science major for career opprotuni- ties in the job market and applying for Health Professions professional programs. HTHS 3328. Pathophysiology of Cells and Tissues (2) F, S Biological interadions 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 objedives. The course teaches students to pradice an interdisciplinary approach as they research, interact and leam in the interdisciplinary environment of a health care setting.

Burton Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 218 Telephone Contact: Shari Love 801-626-7242 Professor: Kenneth Johnson; Associate Professors: Lloyd Burton, Patrida Shaw; Assistant Professors: Richard Dahlkemper, Heather Merkley, Michelle Snow HIT Clinical Coordinator Darcy Carter Enrollment Director: Cory Moss I he Health Administrative Services Program (HAS) provides an opportunity for health practitioners, students in the health disdplines, and others to prepare themselves for healthcare management, healthcare inf ormation, and health promotion roles in both traditional and nontraditional health care settings. In addition, many students use the program to prepare themselves for graduate studies in health administration and other related disciplines. The program is uniquely strudured to hdp practicing health professionals build upon their two year professional degree or credential while at the same time accommodating the more traditional four-year student. The curriculum is organized so that students may tailor their studies in any one of five emphases: Health Services Administration, Health Information Management (HIM), Health Promotion, Long-Term Care Administration, and Health Information Technology. All study emphases lead to a Bachelor's Degree except for Health Inf ormation Technology, which leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree, and Healthcare Coding and Classification, which leads to an Institutional Certificate. The HAS program was devdoped to better prepare health praditioners and others to take advantage of the challenges and opportunities facing them as members of the nation's health care team.
