Tufts University - Courses List


Geriatric Dentistry


The dentist is a key member of the health deliverance team. This course educates the student how to provide comprehensive oral health care and educate prevention to a active, various and swiftly growing elderly population. Since chronology does not always equal physiology, younger patients with noteworthy medical, physical, mental disabilities and sensory deficits are qualified for treatment in Geriatric Dentistry. Students will study the difficulty of aging, patient management and the significance of dentistry in total patient care. In the three clinic sessions, students assess their patients holistically, which includes medical history, nutritional assessment, medications, diagnostic radiographs, and avoidance. A comprehensive treatment plan is developed; treatment is started and is to be completed in the common carry out clinics.


Histology


Histology is about microscopic anatomy dealing with the structures of cells, tissue and organs in relation to their purpose. The first division of the course deals with fundamental tissues (a collection of similar cells and the extracellular matrices surrounding them): epithelium, connective tissues, as well as blood, bone and cartilage, muscles, and nerves. The second division of the course deals with organs, systemic arrangement of tissues performing a particular purpose, as of respiration, digestion, etc.


Histology: Study of Cells, Tissues and Organs


This course is about the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs, with emphasis on the association of arrangement and purpose.


Human Growth and Development


Students will study that there are diseases, conditions and disabilities that relate directly to the disruption of the development of physical or mental processes, that learning about Growth and Development also provides a framework for understanding in greater depth who a patient is as a person, and will get knowledge of the usual "landscape" that can direct our examination in clinical encounters. The course also helps us to understand precipitants to disease and disability, and to learn to know a person more thoroughly, thereby becoming better doctors than were we to meet patients without such informational prompting. The subject matter will be studied by following different developmental "tracks" longitudinally from birth to death and by studying the individual at different cross-sectional stages/ages of life.


Human-Animal Relationships


This course is the first division of the Ethics and Values Signature Program, is intended to supplement the student's understanding of different characteristics of our individual and public relationships with animals, and to motivate creative thinking about the escalating horizons of veterinary medicine, predominantly those appropriate to both customary and newer forms of human-animal communication.


Implant Dentistry

This course presents basic and foundational knowledge pertinent to simple surgical and prosthodontic measures for today's implant dentistry. It develops an understanding of the history of implant dentistry and establishes the scientific foundation of implant-host relations and interactions. The course covers how to comprise implants in an overall diagnosis and treatment plan, and provides an summary of the surgical techniques and healing time required for implants. The course introduces fundamental fixed and removable prosthodontic techniques for implants, as well as how to reinstate single tooth crowns, three-unit fixed partial dentures and implant over dentures on implants. This will include information on temporization procedures for implant restorations.


Intellectual Development


This child maturity course aims to investigate numerous of the major points of view presently prominent in the field of cognitive development. It also examines implications of these different perspectives for the education and socialization of children. The emphasis is on theory in the conceptualization of intellectual change processes.


International Multilateral Negotiation


This tutorial is designed as an examination into the character of multilateral negotiation. It looks at how the tools, techniques, and rhythms of many-sided negotiation is similar to bilateral negotiations and in what ways - if at all - are they different. The seminar focuses on negotiated decision-making in multilateral settings. It will review procedure issues such as: the differences between bilateral and multilateral negotiations, the meticulous problems of negotiations involving an extremely large number of parties, the complexities of issue-linkage, managed negotiation processes, the role of coalitions, conference diplomacy, treaty negotiations, knowledge in negotiation, etc. These topics are discussed in the context of case studies dealing with a range of multilateral issues including international security, environment, and worldwide trade.


Introduction to Clinical Pain Problems


This course introduces the common principles of biomedical valuation and management of common clinical pain problems. It presents ways to calculate the biomedical characteristics of the pain experience - temporal pattern, severity, location, quality, intensity and exacerbating and relieving factors, with stress on viewing supposedly varied pain syndromes as part of a fundamentally unified group of processes.


Introduction to Game Development


Video game development is a multi-disciplinary, joint endeavor. In this course students from a range of interests across liberal arts and engineering will work in teams to generate a video game. Topics covered in this course include: Game Design, The Game Engine, Sound, Rendering, 2 and 3D Graphics, Basic Game Physics and AI, Sprites, and Animation.


Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Urban and Environmental Analysis


This course focuses on introducing students to the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in the urban/suburban/metropolitan environment. Students will learn to work with urban spatial databases and cover many technical topics.


Introduction to Modern Physics


The course covers principles and concepts of Special and General Relativity; origins of Quantum Mechanics; quantum structure of atoms, molecules, solids; applications to lasers and microelectronics; nuclear and particle physics; and cosmology.


Law and Veterinary Medicine


This course acquaints students with fundamental concepts of law as well as moral principles, and also seeks to facilitate students to practice medicine more prudently through application of legal rules. While substantive standards of law are presented, the role of process and creative thought in the development and application of legal and moral principles are also stressed.
