This course will teach the basics of human physiology and how each organ system uniquely contributes to maintaining normal health and how these systems affect and complement each other.
Students need to become familiar with the causal interactions of organ systems when attempting to identify the root cause of an illness and not mistake a clinical sign or symptom for the primary disease.
Understanding human physiology is quintessential for preparing the Christian for missionary healthcare.
This eye-opening journey of studying the human body will upliftingly testify to the existence and omnipotence of a Creator and profoundly discredit the plausibility of evolution.
Diligently comforting and caring for the sick and their families and not forsaking them regardless of the seriousness of the situation will powerfully witness to the Lord’s love.
A working knowledge of the fundamentals of human physiology is central in the management of all maladies in any cultural context.
Selflessly attempting to heal the disease-stricken stranger emanates a spiritual love that bends and transcends all cultural barriers.
A foundational understanding of the normal ranges of human physiologic functions will be a useful parameter for comparatively gauging the seriousness of a sickness.
Despite being taught the fundamentals of human physiology in this course, the real learning does not occur until the students are engaged in hands-on healthcare in the mission field.
