Advanced Cardiac Physiology & Anatomy (PHSL 5510)

January 7-11, 2013

For Class Schedule & SyllabusClick Here Course Objectives: Provide an overview of the physiology and anatomy underlying cardiac function Provide details on cardiac microcirculation, cellular function and oxygen delivery Provide students with an understanding of cardio-pathophysiology and current clinical treatments Allow students to perform dissection within the Human Gross Anatomy Lab Provide students with various demonstrations on monitoring cardiac function Course Structure: The course will be offered for no credit to non-students, or for 2 or 3 credits to University students (3 credits requires added research project). The class will meet from 8 AM to 6:00 PM for one week: lectures, small group discussions, demonstrations and participation in a human gross anatomy laboratory will be included. There will be a keynote lecture after class on Monday evening. Click Here for Course Information Exam: There will be one essay exam that will be based on lectures and labs. This take-home (open-book) exam will be distributed the last day of class, and you will have approximately two months to complete and e-mail, fax or mail it back to the Department of Physiology. If you are a degree seeking studenttaking the class for credit, then the exam is mandatory.		Registration Information Click here to register. Deadline: December 20, 2012 or when course is full Cost: $3,050 (U of M students cost = tuition +$525 fee, billable with Spring Semester) IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FOLKS FROM INDUSTRY: Even if you do not register as a university student, you can still receive a letter grade for the short course, and in most cases, get reimbursed by your company. (If you take this course as a student from industry, you will receive a letter from the IBP’s Director of Education stating your attendance and grade. If you opt to complete the take-home final exam, this letter will contain your grades and serve as proof you took the course). If at some point in the future you enroll in a graduate program, you can get retroactive credit on your transcripts for the short course.

Course Director:

Paul A. Iaizzo, Ph.D., Professor of Surgery and Physiology, Director of Education, Lillehei Heart Institute

Textbook:

Handbook of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology and Devices. The textbook received a glowing review from Danny Ramzy, M.D., and Vivek Rao, M.D., Ph.D., in the Journal of Cardiac Surgery, May/June 2006, Vol. 21(3)"

"This textbook is an excellent review of cardiac anatomy and physiology. It would make an invaluable addition to the library of those with cardiovascular interests. For cardiovascular surgical trainees, this text would be a valuable reference tool throughout their training. The book is easy to read, the figures (in the text and on the CDs) are clear and easy to comprehend. Finally, we praise these authors for their efforts in maintaining an active interest in this field and continuing the Lillehei legacy."
