Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles for SCUHS

SEL0917 – Introduction to Functional Medicine and Blood Chemistry Analysis
Units: 1
Introduction to Functional Medicine principles and philosophy. Overview of FM mapping of patient history,
physical exam findings and questionnaire assessments. Foundational to FM is laboratory evaluations
beginning with blood chemistry. Blood Chemistry is part of the physical exam and which tests that should be
ran for which patients will be covered. Introduction to functional blood chemistry analysis includes the CBC
with differential patterns such as anemia and immune dysfunction. The comprehensive metabolic panel
begins with a detailed discussion of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
Prerequisites: BN0510
Corequisites: CDX0601
Restrictions: DC, DACM programs only
SEL0918 – Effective Athlete Development: From Assessment to Training
Units: 2
This introductory level course emphasizes practical applications of exercise science in the field of strength and
conditioning. This course focuses on the testing and evaluation of athletes, exercise technique, and various
modes of training. The information acquired during this course relates to both athlete development for
healthy/uninjured athletes, as well as to rehabilitation of injured or deconditioned athletes prior to re-entry
into competition.
Prerequisites: FAB101, EB0201
Restrictions: DC program only
SEL0922 – Functional Movement Screening and Corrective Exercise
Units: 1
The Core Training System is the product of years of research and innovation. This System develops exercise
programs based on individual movement patterns. It is equally effective in rehabilitation as well as
conditioning because it targets the weak link. The System is made up of: Functional Movement Screen, Core
Training and Reactive Neuromuscular Training.
Prerequisites: SEL0811, GA0102, GA0202, EB0201, FAB101, DX0310
Corequisites: DX0407
Restrictions: DC program only
SEL0924 – Functional Blood Chemistry II with Multiple Case Studies. Inflammation as the Chronic Disease.
Methylation and Epigenetics
Units: 1
This course will continue to develop critical blood chemistry interpretation skills through case studies and
workshops. The foundation of inflammation will be explored including key inflammatory players such as
cytokines and interleukins and the role they play in genetic and immune activation. The functional influences
on inflammation and the consequences of long-term immune/inflammatory activation will be explored,
including cardiovascular, neurologic, autoimmune and musculoskeletal effects. The important Methylation
biochemical pathway will be used an introduction to epigenetic influences on disease as well as diet,
nutritional and lifestyle modification used to attenuate potential adverse outcomes.
