MED4 3001/F - Core Clerkship in Medicine
Cr Hrs: 14 (4-0-46)
The clinical clerkship in medicine is designed to provide the medical student with an opportunity to learn by experience in patient care and by the examples set by the Faculty and house staff. The student is a participating member of the clinical team responsible for patient care that includes residents and the attending physician. A student is expected to: 1) acquire skill and efficiency in history taking and physical examinations, in technical procedures, in the assembly and interpretation of laboratory data, and in patient diagnosis and management; 2) apply to clinical problems the knowledge and facts acquired in the biomedical sciences; and 3) read current medical journals as well as textbooks. Each student is assigned to the University Medical Services at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the Regional Medical Center or Methodist University Hospital for the eight-week rotation. At the mid-point of the clerkship, each student will switch from one hospital assignment to another. Alternatively, students may rotate through Baptist Hospital in Nashville for four weeks of their rotation (MED4-3001/F). This clerkship also is offered in Memphis (MED1-3001/F), Knoxville (MED2-3001/F) and Chattanooga (MED3-3001/ F).

MSCI 930 - Molecular and Cellular Basis of Pathogenesis
Cr Hrs: 3 (48-0-0)
The goal of this course is to explore the interactions between viruses and their hosts that result in pathogenic effects and disease. The course will provide an understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for pathogenesis resulting from infection of a human host by viruses, bacteria and fungi. Classes will build on information presented in IP805 ?Essentials of Molecular Biology? and in MSCI 931 ?Immune Response to Pathogens? using defined viral, bacterial and fungal model systems to provide a comprehensive and fundamental understanding of the concepts that govern host-pathogen interactions and that lead to disease. Upon completion of the course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the molecular and cellular bases for pathogenesis resulting from infection of a human host by viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of virulence factors, how their expression is controlled at both the molecular and cellular levels and how these pathogen-specific factors affect cells and tissues of the host. The topics are discussed using a format involving in-class discussion of key concepts and answers to pre-class study questions followed, by in-class discussion of pertinent assigned research papers. The papers to be read and discussed include classical papers establishing essential concepts and current papers that exemplify and add detail to the topic under discussion. Combined with the information learned in the prerequisite courses, students will also have a comprehensive understanding of host-pathogen relationships that ultimately lead to the elimination of infectious agents or the establishment of productive infections.
