This module covers the physiology and pathology of disorders of the adrenal cortex and medulla. A variety of teaching and learning methods will be used to cover the molecular and clinical features of the relevant hormones, glands and their disorders. This includes anatomy, physiology, adrenal development, homeostatic control, the glucocorticoid receptor and the use of steroid therapy in replacement as well as adrenal investigations and imaging. This also includes disorders such as Conn's syndrome, Cushings syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and phaeochromocytoma. During the module, students are encouraged to attend and observe relevant clinical activities such as clinics and academic meetings and to add to module-specific sections of their reflective portfolio.
