Pathology and Medical Management I

This course will explore the nature and cause of disease, as well as the current medical management and role of the therapist in the treatment of human disease. Specifically, we will identify the structural and physiologic changes caused by a variety of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on clinical presentation, etiology, pathophysiology, and current medical management of each disease discussed. The role of the physical therapist in the management of these diseases will be presented. Diseases will be discussed in relation to organ systems after discussion of basic pathologic principles. These include: immune, infectious, endocrine, cardiovascular, hematological, lymphatic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, pediatric, musculoskeletal and neurological.

Pathology and Medical Management II

This course is the second in a two-course sequence that builds on the DPT 520 course. Consistent themes of clinical presentation, etiology, pathophysiology, and current medical management of each disease, as well as the role of the physical therapist, continue to be emphasized. This course requires utilization of all knowledge and skills developed in DPT 520. DPT 525 adds medical management of additional diseases in the integumentary, hepatic and biliary, reproductive and renal systems.

Evidence Based Practice I

This course is the first in a four-course series that covers topics relevant to clinical research and the principles of evidence-based practice. This course focuses on developing clinical questions and searching for intervention, diagnostic, and prognostic studies. For each study type, emphasis will be placed on research design, sound measurement principles, statistical tests and how to use the studies to answer clinical questions. A major portion of the course will emphasize the critical appraisal and synthesis of the findings of clinical research.
