COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc program in Physiology and Pathophysiology at the University of Manitoba offers a range of advanced courses that support in-depth learning and research in key areas of biomedical science. Students benefit from a curriculum designed to enhance their understanding of both normal physiological functions and the pathological mechanisms underlying disease. Courses such as PHGY 7010: Readings in Physiology and PHGY 7030: Special Physiology offer flexible, individualized study on current topics relevant to students' research interests. Specialized courses like PHGY 7170: Endocrine and Metabolic Physiology and PHGY 7300: Molecular Endocrinology focus on hormonal regulation and the molecular mechanisms of endocrine function. PHGY 7260: Advanced Neurological Sciences provides insight into the complex structure and function of the nervous system, while PHGY 7330: Physiology of Smooth Muscle explores the role of smooth muscle in various organ systems. PHGY 7190: Research Topics in Physiology introduces students to emerging areas of research and encourages the development of critical analysis and scientific communication skills. These courses, combined with thesis research, provide students with a comprehensive understanding of physiology and pathophysiology, preparing them for further academic study, health-related professional programs, or careers in biomedical research and the life sciences sector.
