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 molecular, cellular, organ, individual person, health system and societal influences
on human health, integrated around themes within tissue injury and neoplasia, infection
and immunology and preventive medicine and addictive behaviours.
Learning Outcomes
- Explain and connect the processes by which organisms cause disease and how infection
is spread and the general details of acute and chronic inflammatory responses, including
mediators, cellular toxins, effects on organ systems and the means by which damage
might be propagated;
- Summarise, relate, and distinguish the role of the immune system in neoplasia and
the abnormal responses of the immune system that produce illness and the mechanisms
which control abnormal cell growth and differentiation and the current theories of
carcinogenesis;
- Discuss, demonstrate and apply the basic principles and strategies employed in disease
prevention and control and health promotion;
- Explain and connect the basic principles of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and
patient compliance and demonstrate their application to the major organ systems, infections
and neoplasia;
- Explain, summarise, and relate approaches to treatment of drug dependence and its
prevention, with regard to various cultures (eg youth, Indigenous) and the public
health economic problem of dependency.
