Review the clinical application of gross and developmental anatomy and understand the foundational roles of these sciences in multiple disciplines of clinical practice within the health sciences.  

Review the theory of the immune response, including lymphocyte trafficking, acute inflammation, and antigen presentation, as well as clinical applications of immunology, including primary immunodeficiencies, hypersensitivity disease, and transplantation. 

Review key concepts of molecular genetics including single gene disorders, atypical inheritance, cytogenetics, population genetics, and genetic linkage.

Review the mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, genetics, and drug resistance, as well as medically important bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
