Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to explain basic terminology, concepts, and methods of anatomy and physiology.
  • Students will be able to outline how anatomic and physiologic principles are formulated, tested, and either modified or validated.
  • Students will be able to describe or predict natural or pathologic phenomena using current scientific models and theories.
  • Students will be able to apply scientific methods of inquiry appropriate to anatomy and physiology to gather and analyze data and draw evidence-based conclusions.
  • Students will be able describe how scientific data are reproducible while also having intrinsic variation and possible limitations.
  • Students will be able to solve problems or address issues using foundational knowledge and discipline-specific concepts of anatomy and physiology.
  • Students will be able to communicate how findings in anatomy and physiolgy contribute to the modern world and medical science.
  • Students will be able to evaluate evidence-based scientific arguments in a logical fashion and distinguish between scientific and non-scientific evidence and explanations.
  • Students will be able to critically state, describe, and consider an issue or problem in anatomy and/or physiology.
  • Students will be able to use information from source(s) with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a comprehensive analysis or synthesis.
  • Students will be able to systematically and methodically analyze assumptions and carefully evaluate the relevance of contexts when presenting a position.
  • Students will be able to state a specific position (i.e., perspective, thesis, or hypothesis) that is thoughtful, recognizes complexities, and acknowledges limitations.
  • Students will be able to state conclusions and related outcomes (consequences and implications) logically and in a priority order.
