University Honors Program (10150) TUED - Undergraduate Education Administration

Course description

This course is tailored for non-physicians who are interested in exploring brain medicine. It will start with some introduction of brain functionality and a friendly approach to the anatomy of the brain. As we move on with the curriculum a deep understanding of some common brain injury related pathologies will be discussed including concussion, severe brain injury, and dementia. The focus will be around what students need to know regarding basic brain pathologies and how to care for a loved one with brain pathology.
A discussion to involve diversity and inclusivity with brain care will also be considered throughout this course. Real cases will be introduced to allow the student to use their metacognitive skills and think out loud on how to approach various scenarios.
