UCSD Cushing’s Disease Questions Responses

I do NOT want an essay. Please just answer the questions typed in the spaces provided, you may add more room to each question, if necessary, but the overall assignment should NOT be more than 3 pages, maximum. Type into the paper I will attach that has the questions!

When answering the questions – you should use your own words and they should be in sentences. We do not want only lists or undefined clinical terms. Show me that you understand what you are saying.

You need to use at least 2 resources – and do NOT use any kind of Wiki or pharmaceutical companies. Please use hospitals & clinics (e.g., the MAYO clinic, NYU, …) , government agencies (e.g., NIH, NIMH, …), and/or medical resources (e.g., the Physicians Desk Reference, …).

To get full credit (10 pts) all the questions need to be answered fully and should show significant effort in answering & understanding the subject.

These are the questions for you to read, but please just type on the document I provided!
