10 courses with the subject MSD, 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.
MSD 601602 Health Professions I-II Lec. 9./Credit 3
This course is designed to examine the factors related to the medical school admissions process. Focus placed on the mechanics of applying to medical school, understanding the admissions criteria, self-assessment as a medical school applicant, and preparation for becoming a competitive applicant. The course is designed to assist students in evaluating themselves as learners and to structure class work and assignments, which will provide the opportu- nities for employing strategies and techniques for becoming more organized, active learners. Seminar topics on the Problem Based Learning Curriculum, medical ethics, model thinking, DAT perceptional test, quantitative skills, career development, the application process, financing medical school and using the internet. In the second semester students will also examine, in detail, medical school admissions policies, as well as factors related to medical education including: curriculum, grading and promotion practices, support services, and medical specialty fields.
Pre-Medical Biology focuses upon the biology topics listed in the AAMC Student Manual for the MCAT. This course is designed to help the student prepare for the MCAT/DAT and Medical/Dental School by practicing standard problem solving methods and techniques needed to specifically handle the passage format of the MCAT. Emphasis is placed on sharpening problem solving skills and increasing the student’s knowledge base.
Lec. 6./Credit 4. Pre-Medical Chemistry I focuses upon the inorganic chemistry and atomic physics topics listed in the AAMC Student Manual for the MCAT. Pre-Medical Chemistry II focuses upon the organic chemis- try topics. This course is designed to help the student prepare for the MCAT/DAT and Medical / Dental School by practicing stan- dard problem solving methods and techniques needed to specifi- cally handle the passage format of the MCAT. Emphasis is placed on sharpening problem solving skills and increasing the student’s knowledge base.
Pre-Medical Physics focuses upon the physics topics listed in the AAMC Student Manual for the MCAT. This course is designed to help the student prepare for the MCAT/DAT and Medical / Dental School by practicing standard problem solving methods and techniques needed to specifically handle the passage format of the MCAT. Mathematical estimation and test taking techniques are also emphasized. Emphasis is placed on sharpening problem solving skills and increasing the student’s knowledge base.
The concepts and principles of human metabolism are systematically devel- oped, beginning with protein structure and enzyme function and concluding with integration of metabolic processes and the principles of nutritional biochemistry. Throughout the course, biochemical concepts are correlated with the metabolic basis of disease processes and the latest applications of biochemical principles in medicine.
Medical Physiology focuses upon the cell membrane, muscle, cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine and reproductive aspects of human physiology. Clinical correlations and computer simulations of laboratory experiments are included in the lectures.
Lec. 6./Credit 4. This course provides a comprehensive overview of basic immunol- ogy beginning with the specific interactions of target cells and T cells that are regulated by the MHC molecule and peptide anti- gens on the target cell and the antigen specific T Cell Receptor. The course will also cover antigen non-specific mechanisms of host defense and topics of clinical relevance, such as microbial immunity, allergy, autoimmunity, tumor immunity, congenital and aids, transplantation immunology and aging.

and Cellular Biology Lec. 6./Credit 4. This course provides a foundation in molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics for medicine. The first part of the course develops an understanding of the important methodologies and applications of molecular biology to medicine. The second part emphasizes concepts and methodologies of cell biology and how they relate to medical practice. The last third part develops the concepts and ideas of genetics and how an appreciation of genetics influ- ences our understanding and practice of medicine.
A comprehensive human microanatomy course, Medical Histology relates the structural organization of cells, tissues, and organs to their function. The course provides a basic understanding of how disease processes can affect the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs. Also included in the course is neuroanatomy.
