SYS

7 courses with the subject SYS, 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.

SYS 1007Endocrinology –2.0

The endocrine disorders module will include an integrated approach combining biochemistry, anatomy/physiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pathology/pathophysiology, and pharmacotherapeutics, of the endocrine system and men’s and women’s health disorders. This course will include key concepts from biochemistry and anatomy and physiology that will be correlated to pathophysiology and principles of drug action. This will bridge students into understanding therapeutic drug targets, mechanisms of action, medicinal chemistry and pharmacological principles. Concepts from medicinal chemistry will be coupled with the pharmacology of the drugs involved in this module. This will include chemical features of therapeutic agents required to elicit biological response and their role in affecting physiochemical properties. Pharmacology principles will include drug receptor interactions and subsequent biological responses, biochemical mechanisms of drug action, adverse and toxic effects, contraindications, and important drug-drug interactions. The pathophysiology and therapeutic principles in clinical practice will be incorporated in a sequential and integrative manner. This will enable students to relate knowledge from both basic sciences and clinical sciences. Clinical pharmacokinetic concepts will also be included with application of basic biopharmaceutic and pharmacokinetic concepts to clinical management of various patients’ conditions in order to provide safe and effective therapy. Concepts of complementary and alternative medicine will also be discussed as they relate to the endocrine disorders related to hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, diabetes, thyroid, and men’s and women’s health
