Each class is independent of others. No experience in anatomy or science needed.  

This class series is unlike a full anatomy course, where the focus is on learning about the parts of the body.  Instead, this course features case-based learning focused on physiology (function) and pathology (disease).  

This introduction-level series runs just like a full semester course, but with the flexibility and convenience of ongoing enrollment.  Classes meet once per week.  𝙏𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚/𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧.
