Clinical Correlation 2 for Physician Assistants

Catalog description

This is the second in a series of courses designed to provide a collaborative learning space for students to begin to develop, integrate and refine their clinical skills – the essential skills required to professionally care for a patient in a basic medical encounter. An emphasis is placed on learning and adopting a patient-centered approach to care that includes building therapeutic relationships with patients, effective communication with patients, families and colleagues and the development and practice of clinical reasoning skills. This course uses clinical case studies and hands-on experiences that are designed to offer students the opportunity to learn and practice their clinical skills with direct faculty observation and feedback, frequently with the use of standardized patients.
