BLOCK 4 POSTERS

g 2008 | PPT

 

Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Renal, Cell Physiology, and Pharmacology concepts are integrated into the curriculum. 

The block begins with the effects of both standard and extreme exercise on the normal physiology of cellular mechanisms in three organ systems:  heart, lung, and kidney. 

The block progresses to single organ dysfunction and then to multi-organ dysfunction. 

The Clinical Immersion week will likely include a focus on acute multi-organ dysfunction in the ICU patient.
