PPM 100 Human Growth and Development, Spring 2006
In the Human Growth and Development course, students will: learn that there are diseases, conditions and disabilities that relate directly to the
disruption of the development of physical or mental processes. learn that learning about Growth and Development also provides a framework for
understanding in greater depth who a patient is as a person. gain knowledge
of the normal "landscape" that can guide our exploration in clinical
encounters. It can also help us to understand precipitants to disease
and disability. learn to know a person more thoroughly and thereby be better doctors
than were they to meet patients without such informational
prompting. We will study the subject matter in two
ways: by following various developmental "tracks" longitudinally
from birth to death and by studying the individual at various
cross-sectional stages/ages of life.
