Description
This is the first of two foundational courses for DNP students emphasizing pathophysicologic changes at the molecular, cellular and systemic levels. The content focuses on alterations in cell function and systemic manifestations by using selected contemporary, prevalent diseases of the core organ systems. Etiologic mechanisms associated with cell deregulation and specific/nonspecific responses that combine to restore normal cell-tissue-organ function will also be presented.
