BIOC537

This course will combine lecture podcasts from the University of Arizona medical curriculum with regular meetings with basic-science faculty to introduce students to the concepts of Medical Biochemistry. Students will gain knowledge of not only basic-science aspects of these highly interrelated topics, but also medical aspects of these topics. This course provides a flexible learning format with less formal in-class instruction than traditional courses. Students will view course content in podcast format on their own (or with other students), and meet once per week as a class with faculty for group discussion and review of the content. The expected outcomes are for students to 1) gain fundamental knowledge of the principles of metabolic biochemistry, 2) apply these biochemical principles to cellular and pathophysiologic contexts and 3) demonstrate knowledge of and prediction and diagnosis of pathophysiologic medical case studies.
