CLINICAL SKILLS II

Catalog description

Clinical Skills II builds upon foundational patient care competencies introduced in Clinical Skills I, emphasizing advanced system-focused history-taking, comprehensive physical examination, and clinical reasoning for cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and infectious disease presentations. Through didactic instruction, skills laboratories, simulation, and standardized patient encounters, students refine diagnostic assessment, triage decision-making, clinical communication, and professional documentation. The course integrates evidence-based practice, patient-centered care, and interprofessional collaboration to prepare students for increasing clinical responsibility within the didactic and clinical curriculum.
