This 5-week course examines the cellular, systems, and integrative aspects of Medical Physiology, using clinical examples throughout to illustrate fundamental physiological principals. Special attention is given to Cardiovascular, Autonomic, Body Fluids, Renal, Respiration, Endocrine, Gastrointestinal, Muscular and Reproductive systems. The content and instructors of this course are essentially identical to the course given to our medical students.
