OPT 419 Comprehensive Clinical Management II
Two seminar hours per week for one credit hour. This course will consist of case presentations and discussions. Students will select an interesting clinical case from their personal clinical experience and present it to the class for discussion and consideration. The presentation should begin with demographics and chief complaint and continue through the assessment and plan. Considerations of alternative diagnoses and additional testing that was needed to rule them out should be included. Explanation of the treatment plan, considerations for the individual’s care moving forward, and the results of any follow up visits should be incorporated into the presentation. The course allows the clinician the opportunity to step back and review the care they provided to the patient in detail, to analyze their clinical reasoning, and reflect on the course of action selected.
