The course is the  result of over two years of planning and discussions initiated by Dr.Adrianne  Rogers. The course \u201chorizontally\u201d integrates microbiology, pharmacology,  pathology and biology of disease into one course. It has a thread of health law  and policy weaved throughout. The course also \u201cvertically\u201d integrates anatomy,  histology, biochemistry and physiology content from the first year. The  Integrated problems and introduction to clinical medicine courses are now  aligned to this course content so that organ based concept is emphasized to the  students. Many of the pathology faculty have been integral and extremely  helpful in the process and we are always looking for faculty who would like to  develop their educational portfolio on campus.
