BIOL 1088 Biomedical Science and Society    3 Credits

Attributes: HSST Health Studies: Science and Technology, MSID Magis Core: Interdisciplinary, MWAC Magis Core: Writing Across Curriculum

This core science course will engage students in inquiry-based scientific methodology through exploration of specific topics in biomedical science related to human health and disease. The course will explore four biomedical topics. Each topic will include approaches and contributions from chemistry and mathematics, so students appreciate the inherently interdisciplinary nature of science. The course will cover biomedical concepts, quantitative skills, the collection and analysis of data, and guided activities that utilize approaches from all three fields to address biomedical questions. The societal impact and implications of each topic will also be explored. Previously BI 0088.

CHEM 1184 General Chemistry for Health Science    3 Credits

Attributes: EDCG Educational Studies Cognate, HSST Health Studies: Science and Technology

Attributes: BPMB Biology Physiology Block, HSST Health Studies: Science and Technology

Corequisite: BIOL 1107L.

Homeostasis is the major theme of this course, with form and function covered together each semester. This course introduces the student to anatomical terminology, homeostasis and feedback control, membrane physiology, and tissues followed by the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. A strong chemistry background is recommended. Open to nursing majors only. Previously BI 0107.

NURS 1112 Healthcare Delivery Systems    3 Credits

Attributes: DEIE Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Elective, EDCG Educational Studies Cognate, HSTE Health Studies: Traditions, Delivery, and Ethics

The health care delivery system is explored from a historical, economic, political, and health information technology perspective. Emphasis is given to social, ethical, and legal aspects of the current system that remain unresolved, such as access to care, health disparities, and equity. The history and progression of healthcare reform and its influence on our current healthcare system performance will be analyzed. Global health issues and their impact on the delivery of health care services are discussed, along with consumer use of complementary and alternative therapies. This course is designed to give an inter-professional perspective to students interested in health care from any field of study. 42 theory hours. Previously NS 0112.
