This course builds upon the knowledge base of normal structure and function of the human body obtained in Anatomy and Physiology I & II. The intent of this course is to further examine the physiological changes to the body that result from disease processes. The examination of the causes and manifestations of pathological change will begin at the cellular level and progress towards a discussion of major systems with a focus on common pathologies encountered in the pre-hospital environment. This course is tailored to ensure coverage of relevant material as described in the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Syllabus
