Integrative Pathophysiology Online

Overview

This graduate-level course is a comprehensive exploration of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and integrative treatment of disease. Organized by body system, the anatomy and normal physiology of each system are studied, followed by the disease processes and abnormalities that can occur within the system. Supportive integrative health protocols are reviewed as well as the impact of behavioral, lifestyle, and environmental factors on the cause and progression of disease processes. This course reviews genetics research and a comparative review of allopathic and holistic support modalities for common conditions. This course also guides practitioners on when a client should be referred to their licensed healthcare provider.
