35 courses with the subject PAS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PAS 501Clinical Medicine I4
This four-credit course is the first part of three sequenced courses, which introduce physician assistant students to the study of medicine and disease processes. Emphasis has been placed on the integration of the essential anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology, pharmacology, and medical terminology relevant to medical problems encountered in the primary care setting. In PAS 501, the major content areas include hematology/oncology, dermatology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology pulmonology, gastroenterology and introduction to cardiology.
This synchronous online course is the first in a three-semester sequenced course focusing on the medical interview and physical examination techniques to foster development of adequate diagnostic skills. Students will be involved in a virtual patient encounter during the semester. Emphasis is placed on history taking, physical exam skills and note writing skills.
This course will study the diverse cultural, ethical, and psychosocial issues that affect the patient encounter and the evolving clinician-patient relationship. We will examine the powerful influence of the patient's cultural and social context on the development and management of disease. We will also examine clinician factors, such as implicit and explicit bias, and how this might impact the care we provide. Effective communication skills, approaching and navigating challenging situations, and adaptability are exceptionally important aspects of the clinical encounter. We will utilize interactive class discussions, discussion boards, and small group interactions to explore these concepts. This course is delivered on-line in a synchronous format.
This course will provide the students with a thorough understanding of the gross anatomy of the human body. Developmental and clinical considerations will be included. This course will include lecture and laboratory.

This course is designed to teach physician assistant students how to obtain, process, refine and prioritize the growing body of information relevant to the practice of medicine. Evidence-based medicine is a philosophy and a technique which will enhance the understanding of the science of medicine, provide a tool for determining the best evidence to apply to questions of patient care, and foster the attitude of life-long learning. This course is web- based.
Pathophysiology is the study of disease processes as a scientific basis for understanding the relationship of health and disease to clinical medicine. This course will provide the basic pathophysiologic understanding of the underlying etiologies of diseases and their resulting clinical manifestations. This course provides the necessary linkage between the basic sciences and the clinical presentation of disease states.

PAS 547 is the first course of a sequenced set of two-semester courses, which introduces physician assistant students to the study of pharmacology with clinical applications. Emphasis has been placed on the integration of clinical therapeutics of various medications as well as basic principles and biochemical properties.
The course will be taught in an interactive lecture format with an emphasis on critical thinking and decisionmaking. The use of visual aids will be utilized to clarify medical diagnosis, treatment, and follow up. This course integrates information from all other courses taught during this semester and expects all previously required information be called upon to build a stable, comprehensive depth and breadth of knowledge. The Clinical Medicine sequence of courses forms a large basis of knowledge essential to future success in the clinical phase of PA education. This is part one of three that comprises the Clinical Medicine course.

PAS 604Laboratory Medicine and Diagnostic Methods I4
This course is the first part of a sequenced two-semester course designed to provide the student with an understanding of the use of diagnostic studies as an aid to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disease. The course focuses on basic diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests and procedures used to investigate clinical problems encountered within in-patient and outpatient settings. These tests/modalities are integral to the critical thinking process in developing appropriate diagnoses and treatment options. Diagnostic testing selections are based upon subjective clinical judgment and must be used in conjunction with a quality history and physical examination. Diagnostic modalities are rapidly evolving requiring attention to professional Guidelines and Recommendations for best practices in patient care.
PAS 605Laboratory Medicine & Diagnostic Methods II3
This course is the second part of a sequenced two-semester course designed to provide the student with an understanding of the use of diagnostic studies as an aid to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disease. The course focuses on basic diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests and procedures used to investigate clinical problems encountered in the in-patient and outpatient settings. These tests/modalities are integral to the critical thinking process in developing appropriate diagnoses and treatment options. Diagnostic testing selections are based upon subjective clinical judgment and must be used in conjunction with a quality history and physical examination. Students will be exposed to emergency department immersive bedside point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) experience for exposure to its indications, techniques, strengths and weaknesses. Diagnostic modalities are rapidly evolving requiring attention to professional Guidelines and Recommendations for best practices in patient care.
This is the first in a two-semester sequenced course providing instruction in management of patients during the perioperative course as well as the indications, contraindications, equipment, technique, and potential complications of surgical and technical procedures encountered in the practice of medicine and surgery. Emphasis is placed on common issues encountered in managing the care of surgical patients and on common procedures performed in the course of practicing medicine, as well as the theory and practice of these procedures.
This course provides an introduction to leadership in organizations and helps PAs apply these principles to his or her practice. A historical review of leadership theory and research will be accompanied by current developments in understanding leadership. Students will assess their own leadership styles, using various questionnaires, structured feedback and self-analysis assignments. The course develops leadership skills and planning for each student’s on-going development as a leader in healthcare.
