ACMS 4005Fundamentals of Physiology Lab for Pre-Health Postbaccalaureates1
This course is designed for pre-Physician Assistant students enrolled in the Advanced Core Health Sciences program and provides hands-on laboratory exercises related to the various body systems. The laboratory exercises will expose students to the cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, hematopoietic, neurological, and respiratory systems. Students will conduct laboratory activities designed to emphasize the function and measurement of outputs of each system. Students are expected to complete both pre- and post-laboratory written exercises.

ACMS 4006Cellular and Molecular Basis of Immunology and Microbiology for Pre-Health Postbaccalaureates4
This course is designed for upper level undergraduates and will cover the fundamentals of human immunology and pathogenic microbiology. Students should have taken as prerequisites college level biology and chemistry. The course does not assume any prior knowledge of either microbiology or immunology. Topics will cover the basic material needed to achieve high scores on the MCAT and other standardized tests required for admission to professional degree programs. A wealth of interesting and relevant areas will be covered in the course including the organization, function, and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses; diseases associated with malfunction of the immune system such as allergy and autoimmunity, and immune-based therapies (for Cancer and Arthritis). The course will also cover the disease syndromes and the molecular and biochemical characteristics of significant pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Topics will include, among others, bacterial toxins, Tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, Malaria, and Lyme disease.

A crucial component in training pre-medical students to become effective physicians is developing interactive skills, specifically meaningful patient history taking. This course provides students at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine the opportunity to interact with and receive feedback from standardized patients. Furthermore, the encounter permits the design of learning experiences that integrate the students' understanding of basic science principles with clinical reasoning. This course consists of two parts. The first part provides students with the basic tools for interviewing patients and taking their history. This is accomplished by use of self-study, lectures and one on one interaction with standardized patients. During the second part of the course, students working in teams on specially designed clinical cases reason through and present their diagnosis and reasoning to the class. Included in the clinical case is a session with the simulation mannequins who will be programmed with the appropriate disease characteristics.
