PA 534 Clinical Problem Solving and Diagnostics 2


2 credits

The course will continue to build on the foundation learned in Clinical Problem Solving and Diagnostics I and will focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of critical thinking involved in the process of clinical problem solving.  In large and small group settings, a problem based learning (PBL) format will be used to integrate clinical reasoning and thinking to solve problems frequently encountered in the day to day practice of medicine.  Laboratory and diagnostics based on clinical scenarios facilitate development of critical thinking skills.  Throughout the year, the cases presented will relate to the organ system being studied in pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacology, and patient assessment.  Students will have weekly “pre-clinical” experiences and will expose the students to primary care, specialty practice, and other ancillary services of medicine.  Students will observe with preceptor supervision and continue to learn the professional attributes and evidence based practice needed to care for patients.  Students will bring their experiences back to the classroom to add to the clinical discussion of cases.
