BISC 10B: Reproductive HealthInstructor: Melissa Kosinski-Collins Prerequisites: None Course Description: This course does not meet the requirements for the major in Biology.</br> </br> This 10-week online course is designed for students who are interested in learning the basic biology of women’s health. Diseases such as HPV, breast cancer, and Zika are global health concerns. Have you ever wondered why certain diseases seem to impact females more often than males? How are they diagnosed and when? Vaccinations, screenings and treatments exist for some of these diseases, but are they effective? What are the normal physiological processes that happen in the human body and how are these affected by pregnancy? What are ethical concerns related to these diseases and treatments? In this ten-week course, we will explore the molecular, genetic, medical and clinical basis of issues impacting women’s health. We will work on written case studies reflecting how disease and ethical decision making play into these concerns.
