PA 518 Clinical Integration II
This is the second of two courses to provide the student with supervised experiential learning in the clinical setting and will build on experiences in PA 517 Clinical Integration I. 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 will also be scheduled to review and develop clinical skills in addition to early clinical experiences.
