- MD08.01 Development of Endocrine SystemExplain embryologic development of endocrine glands, including pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreatic tissues, to understand congenital endocrine disorders and developmental hormonal dysregulation.0
- MD08.02 Anatomy of Endocrine SystemIdentify gross and microscopic anatomy of endocrine glands and hormone-secreting tissues, correlating structural organization with hormonal synthesis, secretion, vascular supply, and clinical relevance.0
- MD08.03 Physiology of Endocrine SystemDescribe hormone synthesis, secretion, transport, receptor signaling, and feedback control to explain normal endocrine regulation of metabolism, growth, reproduction, and stress responses.0
- MD08.04 Pathology of Endocrine SystemAnalyze endocrine disorders including hypo- and hyperfunction states, autoimmune disease, tumors, and genetic syndromes, linking pathophysiology to clinical features and diagnostic testing.0
- MD08.05 Pharmacology of Endocrine SystemExplain mechanisms, indications, and adverse effects of endocrine drugs, including hormone replacements, antagonists, enzyme inhibitors, and agents affecting glucose, calcium, and thyroid regulation.0
- MD08.06 Clinical Examination of Endocrine SystemDevelop skills in endocrine history-taking, physical examination, dynamic hormone testing, imaging, and laboratory interpretation to diagnose and manage common endocrine disorders.0
