ANA - 500 Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications
This course is a survey of the nervous system integrating information and topics from the disciplines of Anatomy, Histology, Neurobiology and Neurology. The course integrates the structure, function, and organization of nervous tissue from the cellular through gross anatomic aspects including central, peripheral and autonomic portions of the system. The course includes a series of clinical correlation lectures designed to support and augment the basic science content. Beyond an understanding of the normal structure and function of these systems, students will study the development and growth of these components as well as the changes noted in maturation and ageing processes within these systems. Control mechanisms will be considered as the study during this course moves into the specific clinical scenarios. The basic knowledge of the structure and function of the components of the nervous system will then be applied to the abnormal functions that are the basis for disorders and diseases of this system. The course objectives below represent the content of this course. Individual learning objectives for each lecture as well as for the lab and small group sessions are contained within the educational materials for these sessions. Course cross-listed with GCC-650.

CRE - 560 Health Care Outcomes
Improving patient’s, community and populations health outcomes is the common overarching goal for all clinicians, researchers, health care administrators, leaders, and health care systems. Understanding of what health outcomes are, why we need to study and evaluate them, and what role they can play in improving our knowledge is pivotal towards potentially leveraging this knowledge to improve health outcomes at all levels. This is especially important for all those planning to undertake a future career involving patient care and clinical research. This insight is also important for clinicians in provision of patient care, shared decision making, communication, and tracking of the outcomes of any health intervention. It forms the basis of evidence-based medicine, value-based care, patient safety, quality improvement, accountability, and making knowledgeable market decisions and marketing in health care. Health outcomes assessments allow (a) patients to better understand their health and take an active part in their own medical care decisions, (b) the clinicians in gauging their patients’ health status, develop patient centered care management strategies and shared decision making, (c) health care systems to streamline their efforts to effectively and efficiently meet the health care demands of the patients and the larger community, and lastly, (d) health care policy and resource allocation at the macro level. Put another way, health outcomes not only add to our medical knowledge base but also support quality improvement, accountability, making knowledgeable market decisions and marketing. Health outcomes are determined by varied factors. Students versed in this subject will understand and support clinical research and initiatives that impact daily patient care and may extend to applications in health disparities, health resource allocation and health policy. The objectives of this course are to: (1) Discuss why measurement of health outcomes in important in health care settings. (2) Describe various health outcomes routinely evaluated in medical literature. (3) Conceptualize measurement properties of tools used to evaluate health outcomes. (4) Critically appraise select Health outcomes papers from medical Journals. Offered: Spring. Retake Counts for Credit: No. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: No. Credit(s): 4
