PMMD 8519 Language of Medicine Year 2

Organized in a longitudinal fashion, Language of Medicine (LOM) Y2 is a continuation of the LOM Y1 module. LOM Y2 integrates both regional (head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, perineum, back and extremities) and global (entirety of organ systems) anatomy with contents of other basic medical science disciplines in the curriculum. LOM Y2 will provide students with the foundation to problem solve by applying knowledge in topographic, gross, and microscopic anatomy, diagnostic imaging, embryology, and congenital anomalies in the integumentary system (IS), musculoskeletal system (MSK), gastrointestinal system (GI), central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS & PNS), endocrine and reproductive system (ERS).  LOM Y2 serves as the common denominator of the knowledge and skills required of students for discerning normal and abnormal processes of five major organ systems. LOM Y2 emphasize the correlation of gross anatomic structures, functional anatomy, imaging, cellular and tissue organization and microscopic structure and function of integumentary(IS), musculoskeletal(MSK), gastrointestinal (GI), central and peripheral nervous(CNS & PNS), endocrine and reproductive (ERS) systems

Professionalism and ethical considerations, evidence-based medicine, diversity and inclusion norms and values, communication skills, inter-professional teamwork and reflective behavior are also emphasized. LOM Y2 is taught through large group interactive sessions and small group meetings (PBL, Anatomy and Histology Labs), and clinical application demonstrations. Students are assessed on LOM contents at the end of each companion module, using clinical vignette-based, multiple-choice questions and objective structured practical lab exams.
