Study of the interrelationships between the mind and body. Examination of current research and historical views on the interaction of physiological processes and psychological function. Prerequisite: Admission to Applied Health Physiology Program. Three hours per week.

An internship of additional practical/observational experience with an approved health care/enhancement program for students pursuing a Master of Science in applied health physiology. Prerequisites: AHPH 692, purchase of professional liability insurance and, where applicable depending on the area of focus, American Heart Association Basic Life Support. The number of hours for completion is based on the area of focus.

Introduction to respiratory therapy with emphasis on the physiologic basis of respiratory care. Covers basic principles, procedures and practices utilized in the profession. Three hours lecture per week.

Study of cardiopulmonary physiology with emphasis on fluid and electrolyte balance, carbon dioxide and oxygen transport, acid-base regulation and the clinical significance of each. Prerequisites: Admission to respiratory therapy major, junior status, completion of General Education requirements, or consent of instructor. Three hours lecture per week.

Study of the theory and techniques of cardiopulmonary diagnostic procedures, interpretations and clinical applications, as well as an overview of rehabilitative respiratory care techniques. Prerequisites: Senior status, completion of junior level respiratory therapy courses with a C or better, or consent of instructor. Three hours lecture, three hours clinical practice per week.

Prepares students for managerial challenges encountered by leaders and the health care practitioners in health service organizations. Topics include managerial theory, personnel interviewing, selection and maintenance, quality control, audits and budget preparation. Prerequisites: Senior status, completion of RESP 322 with C or better, or consent of instructor. Three hours lecture per week.

A practical experience that requires the student to synthesize relevant professional knowledge and skills within a client care delivery environment. Prerequisite: Permission of program director, completion of 30 AHPH Program graduate hours. As required by the internship site: purchase of professional liability insurance, immunizations satisfaction, medical clearance to participate, criminal background investigation, drug screening and American Heart Association Basic Life Support. The number of hours for completion is based on the area of focus.

Introduction to respiratory therapy with emphasis on the physiologic basis of respiratory care. Covers basic principles, procedures and practices utilized in the profession. Three hours lecture per week.

Provides a pathophysiological presentation of cardiopulmonary disease and gives the student practitioner an understanding of disorders of cardiopulmonary structure and function as related to the clinical setting. A symptom/problem-based focus along with the development of decision trees and algorithms will assist students in understanding the pathophysiology of cardiopulmonary problems. This approach will provide the core of basic sciences and merge it with clinical subjects to reinforce learning through the acquisition of critical thinking skills based on broad, yet specific understanding of the clinical and pathologic aspects of cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Prerequisite: RESP 303 with C or better, or consent of instructor. Three hours per week.

Emphasis on sophisticated cardiopulmonary monitoring including airway assessment, ECG analysis, arrhythmia identification and therapeutic management of a patient in respiratory or cardiac arrest. Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification offered. Prerequisites: Senior standing, C or better in RESP 401, 402, 403, and 404 or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture, two hours laboratory per week.
