Evidence-Based Medicine

Catalog description

As information continues to rapidly expand and become more readily accessible, PAs need to know how best to interpret that information and apply it to the patient sitting in front of them in the exam room. This course lays the foundation for helping us understand how to ask the right questions, find, and interpret clinical studies to answer those questions, and apply that medical information to our patients. We will discuss a systematic approach to the development of information literacy in clinical practice and provide a framework for self-directed inquiry and lifelong learning. Prerequisites: Acceptance into the PA program. Successful completion of preceding courses in PA program.
