Program Summary

Physiological medicine is an interdisciplinary course that explores the body's normal functions and how they are regulated. It integrates knowledge from physiology, pathology, and clinical medicine to provide a comprehensive understanding of how different organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis. The course delves into cellular mechanisms, biochemical processes, and neurophysiological control, emphasizing their roles in health and disease. 

 

Students learn about the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, focusing on their physiological interactions and responses to internal and external stimuli. The curriculum often includes case studies, laboratory work, and clinical applications to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and medical practice. 

 

A strong foundation in biological sciences is typically required, as the course involves detailed study of molecular and systemic physiology. Advanced topics may include stress physiology, aging, metabolic regulation, and the impact of environmental factors on health. The program is designed for those interested in careers in medicine, research, or healthcare, equipping them with critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for diagnosing and managing physiological disorders.
