PAS CHATT 584: Biomedical Science and Diagnostics II

This course combines lecture and lab to bridge advanced biomedical sciences with clinical application, emphasizing the integration of anatomy, physiology, genetics, and molecular mechanisms in patient care. Through interactive discussions and case-based learning, students will explore how foundational scientific principles inform diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making. The course incorporates diagnostic tools—such as imaging, laboratory studies, and electrocardiography (EKG)to help students interpret clinical data and identify underlying disease processes. Emphasis is placed on clinical relevance, system-based thinking, and the early development of diagnostic skills that connect the science of disease to real-world patient care. The sequence of topics will coincide with clinical medicine. This course is delivered in person on campus. Pre-requisite(s): Completion of Semester 1 of LMU Chat PA Program
