PAS 509 - Clinical Medicine-I Lab
This lab is in conjunction with the first 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, 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. 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. They will continue to develop and refine culturally appropriate patient communication, medical history taking, and physical exam skills for diverse patient populations. For each disease or problem, related health promotion, disease prevention, patient education and continuity of care across the lifespan of patient will be considered. An overview of pediatrics, geriatrics, alcohol and substance abuse, elder and child abuse, sexual orientation and eating disorders will be presented. Other professional issues are considered; including competency in managing various conditions and disease processes in neurology, cardiology, pulmonology, musculoskeletal/orthopedics, autoimmune and infectious disease.
