Unit 4 - Critical Thinking Skills in Health Science: 

Apply Scientific Information and evaluate scientific research and models.

Hx of Patho

Unit 5 -  Mechanisms of Pathology:

Biological and Chemical Processes

Mutations and Neoplasms - different neoplasms, Dx and Tx; analyse new tx methods, such as vaccination, personalized tx, targeted therapy.

Factors Contributing to Disease

The body’s compensating mechanisms and homeostasis

Init 6 - The Process of Pathophysiology:

ID Pathogenic Organisms

Stages of Pathogenesis - Incubation, Prodromal, Exacerbation Periods

The Body’s Natural Defense Systems - Inflammation, Immune Response (innate/adaptive)

Effects of Chemical Agents, Environmental Pollution, and Trauma on the disease process

Stages in the Progression of Disease

Unit 7 - Common Human Diseases: Issues in Organ Donation

Fall CCA

Unit 2 - Laboratory and Field Investigation in Health Science

 Unit 7 - Common Human Diseases:

Describe the Nature of Disease - Etiology, S&S, Dx, Px, Tx

Advanced Technologies for Dx and Tx: rDNA, CRISPR-Cas…

Reemergence of Disease  - Malaria, TB, Polio, Measles …

Hospital-acquired vs Community-acquired Infections

Antibiotic Resistance (MRSA, VRE…)

Congenital (Spina Bifida, Club Foot, Sickle Cell Anemia, Cystic Fibrosis...) 

vs 

Childhood Diseases (Measles, Rubella, Chicken Pox…)

Ways diseases affect multiple body systems (Diabetes, Hypertension, Kidney Disease…)

Unit 8 - Disease Prevention and Control:

Public Health Issues related to Asepsis, Isolation, Immunization, and Quarantine

Effects of Stress and Aging on the Body 

Treatment Option for Diseases

Investigate Diseases threatening World Health and Propose Intervention Strategies (Zika, Ebola, Airborne infectious diseases like SARS-CoV-2, West Nile Virus, Tropical Vector-borne infectious diseases moving north with a warming climate…)
