PAS 508 - Clinical Medicine-I
This is the first course in a sequence of three courses designed to teach the essentials of medicine. 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. They will continue to develop and refine culturally appropriate patient communication, medical history taking, and physical exam skills for a diverse patient population. For each disease or problem, related health promotion, disease prevention, patient education and continuity of care across the lifespan of patients 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.
