A symptom/problem-based focus along with the development of decision trees and algorithms will assist students in understanding the pathophysiology of cardiopulmonary problems. This approach will provide the core of basic sciences and merge it with clinical subjects to reinforce learning through the acquisition of critical thinking skills based on broad, yet specific understanding of the clinical and pathologic aspects of cardiopulmonary dysfunction.
Three hours per week.
