Cell Structure & Function (Biochem 110A)
essentially unchanged. to the end of the existing course will be added 5 weeks of cell physiology (permeability) and cellular neuroscience (signaling)
Human Metabolism (Biochem 110B)
moved to "metabolism and nutrition" unit within Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course (Winter of second year, first 5 weeks)
Histology
merged with first half (non-systems) part of general pathology. some reorganization of material so that basic histology (cells, tissues) is covered first, followed general pathology, followed by systems histology, which will be aligned, where possible, with anatomy.
Microbiology
content essentially unchanged. new course will have antibiotics from old Pharmacology course.
Gross Anatomy
content essentially unchanged, except that a short section on neuroanatomy will be added at the end, as is currently done in the Medical School. course will start in mid Fall quarter and go for ca. 16 weeks.
Physiology
cell physiology will be added to end of current Cell Structure and Function course to generate 5 week segment on cell signaling, given in first half of Winter quarter. rest of course will become part of core of Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course and will be taught over two quarters (Spring of year 1, Fall of year 2).
Neuroscience
neurophysiology will join with cell physiology and be added to end of current Cell Structure and Function course to generate 5 week segment on cell signaling, given in first half of Winter quarter. neuroanatomy will be added to end of current Gross Anatomy course and will be given at end of Winter Quarter, year 1. systems topics (e.g., control of movement) will move to "neurology" segment of Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course. some of material on pain will be moved to a course in the Dental Sciences stream on pain and its management.
General Pathology
will be divided into two segments -- the first half of the course will be merged with current Histology course and will be given at the current time, in September. The second half of the course, on systems-specific topics, will be moved to the Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course and will be taught over the Spring Quarter of year 1 and Fall quarter of year 2. This material will be taught specifically to the S/D students at this time.
Oral Pathology
will be moved to the final segment of the Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course and will be taught over six weeks in the Winter quarter, year 2.
Nutrition
some reduction in course content. surviving parts will be moved to segment on "metabolism and nutrition" in the Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course.
Oral Medicine
will form part of Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course.
Pharmacology
section on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics will be moved to cell signaling part of Cell Structure and Function course and will be given in first half of Winter quarter, year 1. section on antibiotics will be moved in with the appropriate part of the Microbiology course. the rest will form part of the core of the Organ Systems and Human Pathophysiology course and will be taught over the Spring Quarter, year 1, and Fall Quarter, year 2.
