PAS 515 - Clinical Medicine Lab-ii
This lab is in conjunction with the second course in a sequence of three courses designed to teach the essentials of medicine. Building on the skills acquired in the History and Physical Examination course and the first Clinical Medicine course, students will learn to perform a focused history and physical exam, develop a differential diagnosis, perform the appropriate diagnostic work-up and develop a treatment plan. The lab will make use of high-fidelity simulation, task trainers, videos and case presentations/clinical scenarios. PA students learn an organ-system and problem-oriented approach to understanding the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, manifestations, laboratory and diagnostic studies, and diagnosis and treatment of specific diseases encountered in general practice. Specific specialty areas and organ systems covered include Dermatology, Endocrine, Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology, and Gastrointestinal Disorders in adult populations. Students will continue to develop and refine culturally appropriate patient communication, medical history taking, and physical exam skills. For each disease or problem, related health promotion, disease prevention, and patient education specific topics are also presented. Other professional issues are considered, including competency with various medical instruments and procedures.
