MDBS 704 Musculoskeletal System
Expanding on the foundations from the Period 1 anatomy course, medical students explore the normal development, structure, and function of the musculoskeletal system, review common congenital and acquired pathologic conditions, and interpret diagnostic tests to form differential diagnoses and identify basic treatment options. Course content emphasizes the effects of environment, nutrition, exercise, and aging on bone and joint homeostasis; radiological assessment and correlation with pathoanatomy; and the basis of autoimmunity, rheumatologic diseases and inflammatory disorders.
