In medical terms, one might speak of the course of a disease, or its natural history. For instance, multiple sclerosis may take a relapsing/remitting course, or a progressive course.

Course may also refer to a period of medication. Someone may be prescribed a course of oral prednisone, for instance, to help with an exacerbation of Asthma.
