Tufts University - Courses List


Medical Interviewing and the Doctor-Patient Relationship


Effective interviewing of patients is necessary for doctors. This course will present the student with the fundamental skills, attitudes and knowledge necessary for that endeavor.


Medicine I


Year one of a three year medical course for dental students, this course teaches dental students fundamental medical skills. It focuses on Patient Assessment, History Taking, Physical Examination, and Introduction to Pharmacology and Prescriptions.


Medicine II


This course teaches the dental student to estimate general health problems and properly apply the knowledge in a future clinical setting.


Medicine III: Hospital Clerkship Program


This course provides the dental student not only an understanding of the difficulty of issues associated with the medically compromised patient but the capability to comfortably manage such patients in the dental setting as well.


Microbiology


This course introduces students to fundamental tactics used by microbial pathogens to create infectious diseases. The course will illustrate the process of microbial and parasitic infection. With an emphasis on pathobiology, lecturers chosen for their expertise and speaking ability cover a wide range of topics in Slide Lectures from Streptococcus to Fastidious Bacteria.


Musculoskeletal Pathophysiology


This course covers the disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system. Students will become well-known with the immunology and pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases that may primarily influence joints but also affect multiple organ systems of the body in some diseases.


Nutrition and Medicine


This course introduces students to 1) functions of macro and micronutrients, 2) the role of nutrition all through the life cycle (pregnancy, lactation, infatns/children, adults, and the elderly), and 3) the clinical application of nutrition in the avoidance and treatment of chronic disease (cardiovascular, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer).


One Health: Interdisciplinary Approaches to People, Animals and the Environment


Emerging challenges to human, animal and ecosystem health demand novel solutions. The course will discover interdisciplinary team-oriented approaches to complex health problems and set a framework for similar cross-school collaborative learning and teaching experiences at Tufts.


Ophthalmology Grand Rounds


The Grand Rounds give a broad range of ophthalmology cases seen at the New England Eye Center.


Oral Public Health and Community Service Program


This program inspects the collision of society, dissimilar cultures, attitudes, health beliefs and danger behaviors on oral public health. The basic principles and practices of community health, epidemiology, public engagement, and community service are presented from a practical and applied perspective. The significance of oral diseases and disorders as a "silent epidemic" and their serious collision on general health and well-being is emphasized, including specific examples of present issues and "hot topics" in oral community health. Strategies and methods to overcome existing substantial impediments to oral healthcare access for the most needy, vulnerable and underserved populations, is discussed from the perspective of community-based healthcare systems development.


Pathophysiology of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism


This course gives a brief review of endocrine physiology. The course teaches the pathophysiology of each of the endocrine areas through didactic lectures and small group discussions. The student will study the mechanism of action of the various medications used in the treatment of endocrine disorders as a way to emphasize physiology and pathophysiology. The concepts and facts learned during the lectures will be applied to solve clinical problems in the small group discussion sessions. The small group sessions get ready students to handle endocrine cases during their clinical years and prepare them for the USMLE exams as well.


Pathophysiology of Infectious Diseases


Understanding of the role of microbes play in chronic illness, like coronary disease and arthritis, continues to develop. For example, in the Emerging Infections and Agents of Biological Warfare Lecture, one will study that while advances in identification, culture techniques, diagnosis and treatment have led to remarkable improvements in the consequences of infectious diseases worldwide, newly identified pathogens continue to emerge and affect mankind, such as Ebola, anthrax, smallpox, West Nile Virus, monkeypox virus, and others.


Physics for Humanists


This course covers facts and concepts of classical and modern physics for the rationally and emotionally curious student not intending to specialize in the natural sciences.
