MEDI 8113 Language of Medicine Y1
The Language of Medicine (LOM) component of the curriculum is a longitudinal module that serves as the common denominator of knowledge for normal and abnormal development, gross and microscopic anatomy and histopathology as well as imaging and normal function and dysfunctions of the human body necessary for students to understand and interpret other biomedical sciences that remain deeply integrated with each other in the UTRGV School of Medicine preclinical curriculum. There is a strong emphasis on clinical relevance and imaging. Regions of the body, namely the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, perineum and extremities, are integrated in different modules of the curriculum. Students learn topographic anatomy and their clinical applications contextually in each organ system module and, thus, have multiple opportunities in LOM to integrate with appropriate contents of other biomedical science disciplines, both horizontally and vertically, throughout the first two years of their undergraduate medical school.
