CM 727 - Biomedicine V


Credit(s): 4.00

This course is designed to enable students of Chinese medicine to develop clinically applicable knowledge of Western biomedical sciences. Biomedicine V compares Chinese and Western medical aspects of what can be observed in a patient and how this can be interpreted in light of Western medical theory. In this fifth course of a six-course series, students learn the anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnostic assessment, and biomedical treatments for the respiratory, thyroid-parathyroid, cardiovascular, and hematological systems. Through lecture and class discussion, biomedical concepts are applied and integrated with physiological concepts prevalent in classical Chinese medicine. Possible correspondences will be examined between the Western concepts of cell and tissue physiology, and the Chinese concepts of Jing and Qi. Prerequisite(s): Third-year status; These courses are to be taken in the ordered sequence of CM617, CM627, CM637, CM717, CM727 and CM737.
