The Endocrinology and Metabolism course will serve as a foundation for future learning and practice. Students will learn how the endocrine system integrates with the rest of the body. The course covers the different endocrine glands: how the hormones have profound effects on the cells and tissues of the body; and the feedback loops that are important in hormonal regulation. Students will have a chance to learn about basic endocrine anatomy, physiology, pathology and biochemistry, as well as clinical aspects of endocrine diseases. Students will also learn about the impact of endocrine disease on patients and society.
