Clinical Medicine I

Catalog description

Clinical Medicine is the core knowledge that PAs need to know to practice medicine. This second course of the Clinical Medicine series continues to teach you the common acute, chronic, and emergent disease topics organized by body systems and presented in separate modules. We focus this course on the disease processes within the psychiatry/behavioral sciences, cardiovascular, endocrine, pulmonary, and reproductive systems. This course also contains a weekly case-based workshop that will help you start to apply the knowledge you are learning across the curriculum. The cases this semester will focus on more simple and straightforward diagnoses. Prerequisites: Acceptance into the PA program. Successful completion of preceding courses in PA program.
