    Pathophysiology​   |   A&P
     

    Course Info:

    Pathophysiology is a year-long class where we learn about disease and how it affects each system in the human body. We learn through real-world case studies and collaborate in order to diagnose complex cases. You will learn in a classroom and science lab in order to give you hands-on, engaging, and rigorous material.​


    Anatomy and Physiology covers a wide array of topics throughout the human body. This class is fast paces and will be preparing you for a health science-related career path. My goal is for you to leave here knowing more about the world around and within you. You will learn in a classroom and science lab in order to give you hands-on, engaging, and rigorous material.
