Abstract: NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu of an abstract amount of basic science information that can be fit into any given lecture. The instructor must hone the lecture to encompass only the most important topics, and restrict remedial material to the most relevant. Once again, a textbook written within only a few disease contexts would limit the number of occasions new diseases must be introduced, and recoup much of this cost. Finally, teaching a class in this manner represents a significant workload. The instructor must develop a superficial knowledge of each disease that is presented. Further, the review articles take large amounts of instructor time at mid semester, when the first drafts and reviews must all be read and summarized. V. Table of possible course topics The following table shows a possible ordering of lecture topics, including the relevant chapters in Lodish et al.2, disease themes and relative due dates for review article sections. Breaks and exams have been omitted. Thick lines indicate general topical breaks.
