This subject continues the study of integrated medical and social sciences for the whole human body. Students will continue to develop their knowledge and understanding of the human body from a molecular, cellular, organ, and systems perspective and the impacts of societal influences on human health. The foundation science topics are integrated around the musculoskeletal and human reproductive systems and human genetics, and supported through continued clinical skills development.
Learning Outcomes
- describe the normal structure and function of the musculoskeletal system and apply this knowledge in some common clinical cases to determine the impact of altered structure on normal function;
- interrelate the structural, functional and sociological aspects of human reproduction, development and pathophysiology in the context of the underlying cellular and endocrine processes regulating this system;
- explain the basic mechanisms of human genetics and inheritance as it applies to both individuals and populations, and the principles of genetic investigation;
- assess a patients vital signs and range of movement;
- discuss the diverse health care needs of rural, remote, Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders, and subpopulations such as people with disabilities, children and youth, the aged, and those with chronic illness and interpret human behaviour, its impact on health, and the influence of social determinants on patterns of disease and health inequalities.
