Clinical Decision Making 3

Catalog description

Continuation of PHAS 7116 that focuses on application and further development of the student’s approach to working–up and solving medical problems, as well as providing patient education and counseling in unique clinical settings. It is intended to build upon, refine and integrate basic clinical skills, interpersonal skills and competencies that students have acquired in previous course work. Students study health disease in social and cultural contexts recognizing health disparities that may exist. Students' clinical skills are honed by providing classroom activities to practice how to approach a focused history, physical exam and address an acute complaint in a simulated primary care outpatient setting.
