Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:
- Use appropriate medical terminology to communicate information related to anatomy and physiology
- Describe the anatomy and physiology of body systems pertinent to pharmacology
- Identify physical parameters used to assess patient health and the pharmacy technician’s role in measuring these parameters
- Recognize characteristics of common diseases and medical conditions
- Describe the impact of social determinants of health on the well-being of individuals and communities
Teaching and Learning Approach
Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Terminology will provide students with a strong background in the science of
the human body and the language used in a health care setting. Students will gain an understanding of how body
systems function in health and illness through assigned reading and a variety of online self-study tools. Core
concepts will be strengthened through assignments, case studies, discussion forums and guest presentations.
The student’s comprehension will be assessed using weekly quizzes and an open book final exam.Learning Resources
