13 courses with the subject MSPP, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MSPP 400SAdvanced Topics in Chemistry I4.0
This review course in general and organic chemistry will contain a review of chemical calculations and theory in topics such as stoichiometry, gas laws, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, equilibria, and pH. Atomic theory and bonding will also be reviewed. The semester ends with a discussion of the stereochemistry of organic molecules.
MSPP 404SConcepts in Science and Verbal Reasoning I6.0
This is a didactic course with weekly preparations for the Verbal Reasoning and Writing, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences of the Medical College Admissions Test. Incorporated into the course are approximately six mock MCAT exams for practice.
MSPP 405SConcepts in Science and Verbal Reasoning II6.0
This is a didactic course with weekly preparations for the Verbal Reasoning and Writing, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences of the Medical College Admissions Test. Incorporated into the course are approximately six mock MCAT exams for practice.
MSPP 505SLaboratory Techniques in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology2.0
This is a laboratory course that is designed to introduce students to essential concepts, contemporary techniques and procedures used in biochemistry and molecular biology research laboratories.
MSPP 511SConcepts in Biochemistry and Cell Biology4.0
This course introduces structure and function of the major groups of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates) and essential structures that constitute a cell. Also discussed are basic biochemical and molecular mechanisms/pathways that contribute to homeostasis, such as protein synthesis, cellular energetics, signal transduction, and techniques to study cells and their constituents.
MSPP 512SPsychosocial and Behavioral Factors in Health and Medicine3.0
This course will provide a foundation of information regarding the psychosocial, cultural and behavioral determinants of health and wellness specific to the practice of medicine. Topics will address psychological, sociological and biological concepts from the extant literature and how these concepts relate to best practices and standards of care in health settings.
This course provides extensive exposure to select organ systems at the gross anatomical, microscopics, and ultrastuctural levels. Structural and functional relationships are considered in depth. The format of the course is slide-show and lecture-based. Please note: this is not a cadaver based dissection course.
Topics covered in this course include: homeostasis, cellular physiology, membrane and neuronal physiology, central and peripheral nervous systems, muscle physiology, cardiac physiology, blood vessels and blood pressure, blood and body defenses, respiratory systems, urinary system, fluid and acid base balance, and the endocrine system.
This course is the first part of the Community Dimensions of Medicine course series. It is designed to introduce students to the community dimensions of medicine to provide skills and insight to expand awareness of community as students move towards a career in healthcare. This course integrates key principles of health, social determinants of health, and healthcare inequities with volunteer experiences at local health services and related sites. Students will be challenged to reflect on individual, societal, and institutional factors that contribute to their own health as well as the health of their surrounding community.
This course involves conducting an independent bench-top, or clinical research project under supervision of an advisor within or outside the university. The research can be conducted at a clinical site, basic science research lab, or as a community project in psychology or public health and requires a minimum time commitment of 80 hrs. Students are expected to identify an advisor and, in conjunction with the advisor, to develop a hypothesis that is to be tested during this 80 hour period. The advisor must have a PhD, MD or DO, or other terminal degree ONLY. Upon completion of the project, students will submit a paper summarizing their project. A grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) will be assigned based upon the completion of the required 80 hours, as evaluated by the advisor, and a paper.
