Clinical Procedures I

Catalog description

PAED 5140 : Clinical Procedures I is the first of a three-course series that introduce students to common medical procedures they may be included in their duties as a practicing PA. This practical, hands-on course is comprised of lectures, videos, and practical laboratories that loosely follow along with the ten fundamental organ-system based courses (“the modules”) and the five population/discipline-based “Essentials” courses. This course interweaves technical skills with concurrently taught clinical material and prepares students to successfully perform procedures during the clinical phase of the program. As they move forward toward the provision of patient care, successful completion of these practical courses helps assure that they have the technical skills to function effectively as members of the health care team.
