| MOLECULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY
(objectives)
ENDOCRINOLOGY IS USUALLY TAUGHT AT THE END OF STANDARD PHYSIOLOGY COURSES, BECAUSE THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM REGULATES ALL THE OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS. IN THIS RESPECT, LEARNING ABOUT ENDOCRINE SYSTEM HAS THE ADDED CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING STUDENT KNOWLEDGE OF HORMONES AND THEIR ACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL FUNCTION OF A SPECIFIC ORGAN SYSTEM. THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSE ARE TO ALLOW THE STUDENT TO GAIN A FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY, TO BECOME REFINED IN THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS RELATED TO ENDOCRINE PHYSIOLOGY, TO DEVELOP PROBLEM SOLVING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING TECHNIQUES.
