PAS 6370 - Clinical Decision Making

This course will focus on common medical symptoms encountered in the primary care setting and the process for collecting information from the patient to create a management plan. The Physician Assistant Program Faculty will facilitate the refinement of the development of a differential diagnosis and the steps involved in clinical decision making when confronted with a patient complaint in small and large group sessions. Students will be assigned topics for each class and should read in advance of class to prepare for class discussions and assessments. Students will develop an appreciation of case-based learning and systems-based practice issues.
