Demystifying Common Medical Conditions II: Laypersons’ Guide

Have you ever wanted to understand how diseases affect the body but thought you needed a medical degree to do so? Not anymore! This course will explain the science of common medical conditions in an easy-to-understand format. The presentation will include how the disease alters the normal function of the body and how the disease is diagnosed and treated. This course is geared to the person with little or no medical experience or knowledge. Members will understand how the body works and appreciate the complexity of its systems, empowering them to advocate for themselves and their loved ones. This is the second course in this series, and it will cover different conditions than those presented in the first course (e.g., eye and lung conditions). Taking the first course is not a requirement and is not necessary to enjoy this second course.
