It provides students with detailed knowledge of the patho-physiological responses underlying various conditions commonly encountered by physiotherapists. Areas addressed will include the constructs of cell injury/disease; inflammation; bony trauma and joint pathology; infection and infectious diseases; pulmonary and circulatory disturbances; metabolic disease; neoplasia and pathological basis of mental illness. It also provides students with an introduction to mechanisms of action of selected pharmacological interventions in injury and disease.

This first-year level subject examines how the body responds to a range of pathological conditions and introduces concepts relevant to clinical and allied health practice. This subject offers a flexible way to expand your knowledge in a specialised area of health science, refresh existing skills, or explore new study and career pathways without the commitment of a full degree program. It can be studied as a standalone subject for professional development, personal interest, or to support future study goals.
