Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology with a specialization in Cardiovascular Renal Physiology.

Each certificate offers a distinct pathway empowering you to tailor your education to your professional goals, whether you want to distinguish yourself from the competition or get your feet wet before taking the MCAT.

Our Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology provides an excellent entry point for individuals interested in starting a career in the medical field. The program consists of 9 to 14 credits composed of six courses that cover the fundamentals of medical physiology and delve into individual body systems.

All students are required to take the 1-credit Fundamentals of Medical Physiology course. After completion, you can choose from any combination of the five remaining courses to fulfill your 9-credit minimum. If you opt for 9 credit hours in total, you can complete the graduate certificate in only one semester. However, if other electives pique your interest, you can also take up to 14 credits to earn your certificate.

While each semester has specific registration deadlines and end dates, these courses are self-paced, so you can complete them on your own timeline (within the semester deadlines). After completing the course Fundamentals of Medical Physiology, you can take the rest of the courses in any order.

In addition to the 1-credit Fundamentals of Medical Physiology, the other courses in the program include:.

This is a 5 credit, 15 week (approximately 55 lectures) self-paced course which examines the cellular and organ systems of Medical Physiology for Distance Education. The tuition will be assessed at the College of Medicine tuition rate. Students must register for the online course by going to the MyUI site at the University of Iowa (non-UI students go HERE) to enroll.

The course can be completed in less than 15 weeks depending upon the completion of each exam but not to extend beyond one semester (15 weeks). The course is delivered using online streaming audio and video of lectures, syllabus, as well as PowerPoint slide presentations, all available on ICON (Iowa Courses Online). Response time for questions will normally be within 48 hours.

The fundamental principles of cellular membranes, muscle, sensory organs, motor neurological systems, autonomic nervous systems, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and reproductive systems are covered. The interdependence of organ systems to maintain a normal physiological state will be emphasized using clinical correlates as applied to humans. The goal of the course is to provide basic physiological principles that establish a solid foundation for future pathophysiological and pharmacological concepts. There are five section examinations covering nine general organ systems and a comprehensive final exam. Grades are determined by the percentage of points earned from the exams (100% from section exams). The course is appropriate for medical, dental, physician assistant, nurse anesthesia, physical therapy, and graduate students.
