HTHS 1120 - Case Studies in Health Sciences Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Online] Spring [Online] 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 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. Prerequisite: HTHS 1101, HTHS 1105 and HTHS 1106 or HTHS 1110 and HTHS 1111 or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. WSU Online class only. HTHS 1130 - Common Medicines Credits: (3) Typically taught: (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. May be repeated twice with a maximum of 6 credit hours. HTHS 2230 - Introductory Pathophysiology Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem, Online] Spring [Full Sem, Online] Summer [Full Sem, Online] An introduction to the nature of disease and its effect on body systems.
