PSYD9020: Anatomy and Physiology for Clinicians I

This hybrid course provides a clinical introduction to human anatomy and physiology tailored for psychology doctoral students preparing for integrated healthcare and psychopharmacology practice. Students will examine the structure and function of major body systems—including cellular, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems—through both asynchronous online modules and periodic in-person cadaver labs. Emphasis is placed on the clinical relevance of anatomy and physiology to medication management, health psychology, and behavioral medicine. This course provides foundational biomedical knowledge essential for psychologists preparing for future prescriptive authority training.
