SCI 1000Natural Science Elective (2 courses)8
The Natural Science Requirement can be satisfied by transfer credit or taken at Labouré College of Healthcare. These 8 credits represent 2 courses and may be courses such as Biology, Anatomy & Physiology I and/or II, or other natural science courses from an area of specialization. Students who do not receive transfer credit for this requirement must satisfy the Natural Science Requirement with Labouré courses and may do so by completing two of the following courses: ANA 1010 Anatomy and Physiology I with Lab ANA 1120 Anatomy and Physiology II with Lab BIO 1010 Human Biology MIC 2201 Microbiology for Healthcare Professionals SCI 2055 Introduction to Global Health SCI 2065 Introduction to Epidemiology SCI 2070 Applied Nutrition for Health
This course examines global health and reviews the health status of populations across the world. Topics that are covered include communicable and non-communicable disease burden, health security, health inequalities, and how climate change and nutrition status affect health outcomes. Students will critically examine the current literature on global health and will be challenged to use evidence-based research to develop practical ideas to improve global health outcomes.
The purpose of this course is to introduce the history and development of epidemiology in relation to public health and disease. Communicable, epidemic, and endemic as well as social diseases will be discussed.
This course will introduce the fundamentals of human nutrition including a broad overview of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Analysis and application of fundamental concepts of the science of nutrition will be applied through laboratory experience collecting and interpreting dietary intake, anthropometric measures, and clinical values.
The Natural Science Elective is satisfied by transfer credit or taken at Labouré College of Healthcare. Students who do not receive transfer credit for this course and must satisfy the Natural Science Elective with a Labouré course may do so by choosing one or more of the following courses: SCI 4010 SCI 4020 SCI 4030 SCI 4095 SCI 4100
This course outlines several major scientific advances through history. The impact of those advances on the scientific field and on the broader society is highlighted. The nature of scientific change—from the scientific method of empirical observation to the paradigm shifts of scientific revolution—will be examined. By the end of the course, students will have a broad understanding of major advances in several different scientific fields and the human components that are part of bringing those advances forward.
This course explores the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer and its effects on individuals and society. In particular, it provides students with a basic understanding of the nature of cancer and the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that lead to cancer. It also includes a survey of the fundamental principles behind cancer diagnosis, prevention, and therapeutic intervention, including risk factors for the major forms of cancers and how they vary according to gender, ethnicity, culture, and socioeconomic status. While based primarily on content from the life sciences, SCI 4020 incorporates insights from the fields of Sociology, Psychology, History and Economics.
The ability to understand the conceptual and practical aspects of biostatistics and epidemiology in health care is critical to understanding research and analyzing population data about disease. This survey course will improve the ability of the student to understand and apply these concepts.
This course highlights several of the paradigm shifting that have taken place in history in the field of medicine. Explored will be the dominant beliefs that existed at the time of discovery, the nature of the discovery, sometimes accidental, the receptiveness of the medical community, and ultimately, the change that ensued after the discovery. Students will critically evaluate historical patterns to uncover the nature of scientific discovery in the field of medicine.
This course examines global health from an interdisciplinary perspective, critically examining the role that political, social, economic, and environmental factors contribute to global health outcomes. Topics such as health security, health inequalities, climate change, and nutrition, as well as communicable and non-communicable disease burden, will be examined. The course will review the literature on underlying factors that contribute to the disparities seen in health status among different populations and will be challenged to use evidence-based research to develop practical ideas to improve global health outcomes.
The course will examine a variety of general concepts and contemporary discussions in the area of nutrition as it applies to personal health through analysis, discussion, and evaluation of physiological, economic, environmental, and cultural factors as they apply to nutrition choices for individuals, groups, and families. Many of the concepts learned in this course can be applied to the patient counseling and advisement health care providers are asked to perform.
