PDD Physiology and Drugs
**NEW COURSE**
Physiology & Drugs is a course that introduces students to how the human body functions and how different categories of drugs affect physiological systems and behavior. It begins with an overview of major body systems, such as the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, muscular, endocrine, urinary, digestive, and integumentary systems, and explains how they work together to maintain homeostasis, or the body’s internal balance. Students learn how drugs can mimic, block, or alter these natural processes and how the body responds through mechanisms like negative feedback, leading to impairment, behavioral changes, and other physiological signs of disrupted homeostasis.

Pre-employment Prior Probabilities & Risk
**NEW COURSE**
This course challenges the traditional pass/fail model of pre-employment polygraph screening and introduces a more scientifically grounded alternative: a three-tier risk-banded framework. Rather than forcing complex probabilistic data into a binary outcome, this approach classifies applicants as Low, Medium, or High risk — giving hiring agencies more nuanced, defensible, and accurate information. Examiners move from making absolute pass/fail calls to providing sophisticated risk assessments.
