RURAL PRE-MEDICINE selkirk.ca/rural-pre-medicine science. Pharmacology basics and the biological, psychological, social, spiritual and environmental dimensions of addiction will be reviewed from a number of perspectives. Current research on attachment, trauma and brain development will be examined in relation to addiction from both developmental and environmental perspectives. A critical examination of the link between policy and practice provides context for the emergence of recovery strategies such as harm reduction and motivational techniques. Special attention will be given to the role of colonization and stigma as it is experienced through ethnicity, gender and culture, and the important role of advocacy in this context.

ANTH 201 - ETHNIC RELATIONS An introduction to the comparative study of “race” and ethnic relations from local to international contexts. The course explores social stratification 220 Selkirk College Academic Calendar 2017-18 according to race and ethnicity and looks at the motivations and consequences of such classifications and their relationships to other forms of stratification. Pre-requisites: ANTH 100 or ANTH 107 recommended; ENGL 12 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better. BIOC 302 - GENERAL BIOCHEMISTY BIOC 302: General Biochemistry builds on principles of biochemistry explored in BIOL 206. The biosynthesis of lipids, amino acids and nucleotides will be discussed. DNA, RNA and protein metabolic pathways will be explored, along with regulatory mechanisms. The laboratory component uses techniques introduced in BIOL 206 to study the fundamental components of cellular function. TRANSFER DETAILS This course is included in the block transfer agreement between Royal Roads University and Selkirk College which allows Selkirk ADRPM students entry into the 4th year of a RR BSc Degree. Pre-requisites: BIOL 204, BIOL 206 with a grade of at least “C”. CHEM 212 and CHEM 273 with a grade of at least “C” BIOL 104 - BIOLOGY I A course designed for those students who require first year biology in their program of study or who wish to go on to further study in biology. The course includes cell biology, biochemistry, and an examination of the processes of life in the plant and animal body. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills through problem solving, research design, and laboratory analysis. Pre-requisites: BIOL 12 or equivalent and CHEM 17 or equivalent. Students lacking the stated Pre-requisites may enrol in the course with written permission of the School Chair; however, they should be aware that they will be required to do additional work. This course is available via Distance Education, but requires attendance at weekly on-site labs. BIOL 106 - BIOLOGY II Along with BIOL 104 (Biology I), this course provides an overview of the study of living things. Biology 106 presents topics in population, community and ecosystem ecology, and classical and molecular genetics. Evolution provides a unifying theme for the course. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills through problem solving, case studies and laboratory investigation. Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 with a grade of "C" or better or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. BIOL 164 - HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY | This course provides an integrative approach to the normal structure and function of the human body. Repair and replication, structural support, nervous integration, movement and metabolism are examined at the cellular, tissue and system levels. Recent scientific discoveries are presented as a means of relating the systems studied to various applied disciplines including health care and Kinesiology. Pre-requisites: BIOL 12, CHEM 11, and one of BIOL 11, CHEM 172, or PHYS 12 (BIOL 11 recommended) with a grade of "C" or better. BIOL 165 - HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II A continuation of Biology 164, this course covers the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, urinary and digestive systems. Endocrinology is discussed throughout as a means of integrating the various systems to the function of the body as a whole. The focus remains on application of knowledge gained in this course. Pre-requisites: BIOL 164 with a"C" or better or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair. BIOL 204 - CELL BIOLOGY This course provides the student with a thorough knowledge of cell structure and function. Topics covered include biomolecules, membranes, organelles, cell movement, cell signaling, gene regulation, and transcription and translation. Experimental techniques used in modern cellular and molecular biology are also introduced. Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 and 106 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair. BIOL 206 - INTRODUCTORY BIOCHEMISTRY This course provides an introduction to biochemistry including protein structure and function, and representative catabolic and anabolic pathways. Topics covered include water, enzyme kinetics and enzyme structure and function. Experimental techniques used in biochemistry and molecular biology are also introduced. Pre-requisites: Biology 104 and 106 with a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and School Chair. NOTE: Students are advised to take CHEM 272 as a prerequisite and CHEM 273 concurrently with BIOL 206. BIOL 212 - MICROBIOLOGY BIOL 212: Microbiology is a survey of the microbial world, with discussions of the medical and ecological significance of key organisms.
