MD ID 7735 - Keeping it Re(n)al: from Physiology to Treatment

This Advanced Integrated Science Course is a 4-week bench-to-bedside, deep examination of renal physiology, pathology & pharmacology. This course takes students through nephrology topics to facilitate an understanding of pathophysiology of acute & chronic kidney disease as well as the impact on patients. This course will combine lectures, case, team, & PBL sessions, lab time, journal clubs, & clinical experiences that will give students an in-depth look at what the kidneys do & how that translates to patient care. The 1st week will focus on fluid, electrolyte, & acid base regulation, the 2nd week on acute kidney injury, the 3rd on chronic kidney disease, & the 4th on kidney transplant & end stage renal disease. Each week, will have clinical/lab experiences to reinforce learning.
