BC5170 Integrated Structure and Function
This module begins by encouraging students to establish a learning community to support their success in the naturopathic medicine curriculum. Students are required to build a framework of core principles in histology, embryology and biochemistry. Students build a foundation of the structure and function of cells and tissues in order to predict the cellular response and adaptation to challenges. The module integrates concepts from cellular metabolism, molecular genetics, embryology and histology. The module also addresses the structure and function of the integumentary system. Lab addresses the histology of tissues and skin. Concepts in naturopathic philosophy are applied from the concurrent Naturopathic Theory and Practice 1 module, as appropriate. Lecture is taught in a hybrid-online format.
