Case Studies in Health Sciences is a 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 a variety 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 1110 and HTHS 1111 or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. Recommended prerequisite: HTHS 1101.
