The embryology sequence provides an understanding of the organogenesis of the major structures of the body, including the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, reproductive, kidney, face and pharynx, endocrine development, defects of development (teratology), and changes in the fetus at birth. Each phase of normal development is also correlated with errors in that process.

This sequence provides a comprehensive introduction to diseases of the cardiovascular system, how they present, how they are diagnosed, how they are prevented, and how they are treated. Students learn to identify the integral links between anatomy, physiology, pathology, and basic sciences with clinical medicine and other essential aspects of patient care for ambulatory and hospitalized patients who have cardiovascular disorders.

The purpose of this sequence is to teach the aspects of basic science related to the respiratory system, building on the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry taught in year 1. Clinical examples of applied basic science are based on common lung diseases including: pneumonia, emphysema, asthma, cancer, trauma, ARDS, and respiratory diseases of the newborn.

The M2 Renal Sequence provides an overview of diseases of the kidney and urinary tract in a clinical setting and provides an introduction to the basic concepts about the area and tools you will need to continue learning about them in future years. The sequence consists of lectures, small group seminars, Clinicopathological Correlation Laboratories, and multidisciplinary conferences on end stage renal disease and organ procurement. Over twenty faculty members from Nephrology, Pathology, Urology, and Pharmacology will participate in the lectures, seminars, and Clinicopathological Correlation Laboratory sessions.

This sequence introduces students to clinical psychiatry. The sequence focuses on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders, with those elements of neurobiology, behavioral science, and pharmacology that are essential to the understanding of these disorders.

This course sequence teaches the pathophysiology of common diseases of the nervous system (including visual, auditory, and vestibular systems), and the general principles underlying diagnosis and management. The specific goals are: To review clinically relevant neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. To learn a systematic approach to the localization of neurologic lesions. To learn a systematic approach for determining the likely general category of disease process responsible for a patient

This sequence presents the basic principles of bone and joint structure and function and to review many of the disease entities related to this system and to the soft tissue as well. General clinical approaches to diagnosis and treatment will be discussed as well.

In the hematology sequence, students learn to recognize and diagnose anemias, bleeding and clotting disorders, and abnormal white blood cell and lymphocyte disorders. Students learn the clinical approach to a patient with a red blood cell, hemostatic or thrombotic, and white blood cell disorder.

The Endocrine Sequence teaches the basic principles of hormone secretion and action and the clinical disorders which result from abnormalities of hormonal activity. Students are expected to be familiar with the functions of the endocrine glands, the structure, secretion and action of the important hormones, and the major clinical endocrine disorders. Emphasis will be placed on understanding pathophysiology and being able to use general principles in endocrine phsyiology (e.g. negative feedback) or in the management of endocrine disorders (e.g., insulin management) in consideration of specific circumstances and clinical cases.

This sequence provides a comprehensive physiologic and pathologic overview of male and female reproduction, including normal human sexuality, normal human reproduction, abnormalities of sexual function, evaluation and management of infertility, parturition, and fertility control. Breast function and breast disease are also addressed.

This sequence's activities have been designed to correlate basic science with clinical dermatologic phenomena. Dermatology as a clinical specialty is very visual, and accordingly, students will be exposed to images of real skin diseases and findings.

The M2 Gastrointestinal Diseases sequence is a 2 1/2 week block of lectures, laboratory exercises, case presentations and a Multidisciplinary Conference that are designed to introduce students to the scientific foundations of diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract.

Provides an understanding of why societies, cultures, organizations, and individuals create and keep records. Presents cornerstone terminology, concepts, and practices used in records management and archival administration. Examines the evolution of methods and technologies used to create, store, organize, and preserve records and the ways in which organizations and individuals use archives and records for ongoing operations, accountability, research, litigation, and organizational memory. Participants become familiar with the legal, policy, and ethical issues surrounding records and archives administration and become conversant with the structure, organization, and literatures of the archival and records management professions.

Recommender systems guide people to interesting materials based on information from other people. A large design space of alternative ways to organize such systems exists. The information that other people provide may come from explicit ratings, tags, or reviews, or implicitly from how they spend their time or money. The information can be aggregated and used to select, filter, or sort items. The recommendations may be personalized to the preferences of different users.
