Course Objectives:
Integrate knowledge from the physical, biological, and social sciences to comprehend human physiological functioning across the adult-geriatric lifespan.
Identify the etiology, at-risk populations, pathogenesis morphology, and clinical and diagnostics manifestations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the adult-geriatric lifespan.
Integrate theories of and knowledge of human physiology to comprehend complex human systems.
Apply self-learning principles in the advanced practice role in integrating current research-based findings to understand etiology, pathogenesis and morphological alterations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the adult-geriatric lifespan.
Recognize underlying physiological and/or pathophysiological alterations to health assessments findings across the adult-geriatric lifespan and the effect on human systems.
Analyze the relationships between normal physiological processes and pathophysiological processes across the adult-geriatric lifespan while implementing into advanced care of all populations.
