This week we will focus on GI disorders. See below for more information on what assignments are due this week.
Patients of gastrointestinal disorders often face life-altering changes, including changes to diet, new treatment regimens, and more. For some disorders, treatments can include surgery.
Gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers, diverticulitis, and pancreatitis, often cause varying levels of pain and discomfort. This week, you examine fundamental concepts of gastrointestinal disorders. You explore common disorders in this category, and you apply the key terms and concepts that help communicate the pathophysiological nature of these issues to patients.
