MEDI 8513 Endocrine and Female Reproductive

The Endocrine and Female Reproductive module will provide an integrated, comprehensive study of the normal structure and function of the endocrine and reproductive systems as well as the clinical manifestations of endocrine and reproductive disorders. Innovative, active learning methods which may include, but are not limited to laboratory, small group, and clinical case sessions will allow students to develop critical thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding of the role of the endocrine system in regulation of metabolic activity, water and electrolyte balance, the endocrinology of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, as well as human reproduction. The students will benefit from a multidisciplinary approach incorporating the study of pharmacotherapeutic modalities, evidence-based medicine, as well as current clinical/translational research applications into the endocrinology/reproductive medicine curriculum. Learning activities will include case-based instruction and team-based learning in combination with laboratories, online tutorials and interactive, personalized, adaptive instruction and self-study. Assessments will include discrete point formative and summative activities and exams, simulations, laboratory activities and reports, observation during interdisciplinary rounds and self-assessment.
