This five week course examines the cellular, systems, and integrative aspects of Medical Physiology, using clinical examples throughout to illustrate fundamental physiological principles. Special attention is given to Membrane Electrophysiology, Cardiovascular, Autonomic, Body Fluids, Renal, Respiration, Endocrine, Gastrointestinal, Muscular and Reproductive systems. The content and faculty for this course are the same as for our own medical students. Lectures and workshops (no laboratory) are used to present the material in a highly interactive way. Special attention is given to students who have previously experienced difficulty mastering physiological concepts. The course also is appropriate for students preparing to enter medical studies, or for those who wish to review the subject material. Course information can be previewed at the department's web site: http://physioweb.uvm.edu/summer301/. To take this course, students should be well founded in basic biology, biochemistry, and standard college mathematics. All students must obtain permission of the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics to enroll for the course. If the course is being taken to satisfy a requirement at a student's "home" institution, a letter attesting to the applicants status and approving his/her enrollment must be sent by the Dean or other appropriate official of the institution. This letter is required only of those who need to satisfy a requirement elsewhere.
