Summary: The human nervous system is one of the great frontiers of modern biology. Current advances in neuroscience have transformed neurology from primarily a diagnostic specialty to one rich with therapeutic options. Through classroom didactic sessions we will visit basic neuroscience concepts \u2014 including cell and molecular biology of neurons, cellular neurophysiology, function of neural circuits, and neural degeneration and repair \u2014 and explore how these concepts inform our understanding\u2026\n
The Essentials of the Profession course introduced students in Year I to core principles of clinical epidemiology, health policy, medical ethics and professionalism, population health, and social medicine. That course taught students how to think critically about medical knowledge and how to understand the social and political contexts of health and health care in the United States. Essentials II: Advanced Social and Population Sciences for Medicine builds on this foundation and includes a\u2026\n
