PA 524 Clinical Integration
This course will introduce the student to the clinical setting. Students meet in small groups with clinical preceptors to discuss various aspects of patient care including: obtaining histories, physical findings, pathophysiology of disease, developing a differential diagnosis, formulating management plans, and practicing oral patient-presentations. Students will practice history-taking and physical exam skills, document histories and physical examination, and present findings to their clinical preceptors. Periodic classroom lectures are scheduled to review and develop clinical skills in addition to early clinical experiences.
