610 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine—M.B.S. Program MBS 5806—General Pathology This course focuses on the foundational knowledge of the causes and mechanisms of various disease processes and the related local and systemic body responses. It introduces the students to the pathological basis of cell injury, cellular adaptation, intracellular accumulations, inflammation, tissue repair, hemodynamic disorders, genetic disorders, immunological disorders, neoplasia, and environmental diseases. Prerequisites: ANA 5713, MIC 5727 (3 credits) MBS 5807—Bioethics This course serves as an introduction to the field of bioethics. Students will become familiar with the terminology, resources, and main principles/frameworks used in bioethics. Topics will be oriented toward the health care professions and biomedical research. Through the use of active-learning strategies, students will develop ethical problem-solving skills. Ethical topics that will be discussed include patient care, interprofessional relationships, public health, social media, and research. (3 credits) MBS 5810—Oral Health and Systemic Diseases This course serves as an introduction to understanding disorders in distant organs/systems associated with oral infections. The emphasis of this course is on the impact of oral normal flora and oral pathogens on neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular, bone, digestive, genital, and perinatal disorders. (1 credit) MBS 5900—Biostatistics This course will introduce elementary methods for presenting biological data in summary form, analyzing biological data, and designing experiments. It is not a mathematics course, so will not stress derivations of formulae but, rather, will emphasize the application of statistical ideas and methods to the analysis and interpretation of biological experiments and comparative data. Students will be able to assess a situation involving data analysis; state the null and alternative hypotheses proposed; decide on the correct statistical procedure to test the null hypothesis and the assumptions of the test used; calculate the statistic; assess its statistical significance; and interpret the data, considering the calculated result. (3 credits) MBS 5901—Fundamentals of Research This course will provide an overview of the methods and procedures used in basic science and clinical research. Students will examine the fundamental elements of research and study design, ethical considerations, and data collection and management. (3 credits) MBS 5902—Introduction to Systematic Reviews This course discusses established methodologies for evidencebased reviews, including systematic reviews, rapid reviews, umbrella reviews, meta-analyses, and scoping reviews. Students will learn the steps required to complete evidencebased reviews, including developing a research question, defining inclusion/exclusion criteria, developing literature search terms and strategies, and identifying and managing data. Prerequisites: MBS 5900 and MBS 5901 (3 credits) MBS 6000—Research Practicum I This course allows students to explore and research independent topics of their interest under the advisement of faculty mentors. Students will read and present research articles relevant to their topics during course meetings. Prerequisite: MBS 5902 (3 credits) MBS 6001 Research Practicum II This course allows students to explore and research independent topics of their interest under the advisement of faculty mentors. Students will read and present research articles relevant to their topics during course meetings. In addition, students will write, present, and submit the findings of their independent research projects to approved peerreviewed journals, under the advisement of their faculty mentors. Prerequisite: MBS 6000 (3 credits) MIC 5727—Microbiology and Immunology This course covers the principles and core concepts of microbiology and immunology. The features and properties of microorganisms, microbial metabolism, microbial pathogenesis, control of microbes, and laboratory identification will be discussed. In addition, this course will overview the essential principles of innate and adaptive immunity. Topics presented include the immune system’s organization, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in immune responses to self and nonself, hypersensitivity reactions, and immune dysfunctions. (3 credits) PCO 5504—Pharmacology This course introduces students to some of the core concepts in pharmacology and provides them with a thorough understanding of the classes of drugs commonly used in clinical practice. Emphasis will be on the mechanism of action, clinical indications, side effects, important drug interactions, and the basic pharmacokinetics of each drug class. Prerequisites: BCH 5735, MIC 5727, PHS 5500 (3 credits)
