RECN 625 Medical Aspects of Disabilities

Credit 3
This course involves an exploration of medical information and disabilities from a systems perspective. The course incorporates fundamental medical terminology, medical practitioners, and health care systems. The health care and related systems will be explored in view of their vocational implications, service provision, and resources for intervention, treatment, or therapy for individuals with disabilities. Case studies of systemically related disabilities and how they are managed through the medical model will be explored through the symptomatology, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment phases of the disabilities. Consumer transition from the medical to the service model will be discussed. The psycho-social and cultural impact of disabilities important to the rehabilitation process will be infused in the curriculum.
