PAS 701Patient Assessment I Lab1
This course is the first in a series of three laboratory courses. These courses correspond to the lecture-based Patient Assessment series. Using lectures, simulated and standardized patients in the laboratory setting, and small student group interactions, instruction is provided in obtaining and documenting all components of a complete medical history and review of systems. Students receive instruction in performance of a complete physical examination to determine abnormalities in the human body. Additional topics covered include communication skills and health literacy. Students are expected to integrate and present the physical findings to determine the next appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic step.

This course is the first in a series of two courses, a compilation of multiple skills and extensive knowledge accrued during both the didactic and professional phases of the program. As a practicing clinician, one of the most common avenues for sharing clinical information with colleagues is through the presentation of case reports. This project will assist you with identifying a clinical case study which is educationally worthy of presentation and publication. Students will be guided through the steps including researching the topic/literature search, manuscript preparation, and submission for presentation.

This course includes a wide variety of clinical and practice-related lectures for second year students in preparation for future clinical practice. It also provides summative academic events as part of the concluding curriculum. Faculty will facilitate and produce a customized board review lecture series designed to address cohort deficiencies in preparation for clinical practice and the national board examination (PANCE).
The Clinical Medicine course series (I-III) is a cornerstone course in the curriculum which will span all three (3) first year semesters. This course sequence provides you with the opportunity to develop the ability to recognize, understand, and manage common acute, emergent and chronic disorders encountered in the primary care setting. This lecture and case-based course series will provide you with instruction in etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostics testing, diagnosis and management of patients from initial presentation through ongoing follow-up in a patient centered model including patient education and referral. Using an organ system and evidence-based approach, lectures will present the most common acute, emergent and chronic clinical conditions seen in the adult population. In addition, this course series will incorporate rehabilitative care, health promotion and disease prevention through lecture and student discussion. Where applicable, genetic mechanisms in health and disease will be integrated into each system, including parameters used to determine appropriate genetic risk factors, need for genetic testing and referral. The first course of this series, Clinical Medicine I (PAS 731) will introduce you to the diseases and conditions presenting in the following organ systems: Skin (Dermatology), EENT, musculoskeletal, neurology, and psychiatry. This course series builds upon and strives to integrate the information presented in the Anatomy and Physiology 1, Pathophysiology 1, Patient Assessment 1 and Clinical Pharmacology 1 courses to foster the development of the knowledge synthesis, critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for clinical practice.

The Clinical Medicine course series (I-III) is a cornerstone course which will span all three (3) first year semesters. This is the third in a series of six courses that provides clinical integration of the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common and serious disorders across organ systems and practice specialties. Preventive, acute, chronic and rehabilitative care as well as care across the lifespan will also be included. There is a strong emphasis on critical thinking, problem- solving, cased-based learning and evidence based clinical practice.
As a physician assistant student, it is vital to maintain attention on developing and reinforcing your clinical knowledge base, critical thinking and problem-solving skills while you complete supervised clinical rotations. In the tradition of the continuing medical education (CME) process, this course provides you with clinically-oriented lectures to facilitate your learning. Delivered in an on-line format, these modules are designed to support the clinical specialty of your current rotation. A custom learning activity in the format of a case study with an accompanying on-line discussion thread is included in the module. This course corresponds to SCPE 4,5 and 6.

This course is the first in a series of three courses. This course presents principles of clinical pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics appropriate for common medical problems seen in clinical practice. Instruction in counseling patients toward compliance and proper prescription writing will also be covered. Pharmacologic management of dermatological, musculoskeletal and HEENT disorders and an anti-infective primer will be included.
This course is the second in a series of three courses. Pharmacologic management of cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders will be included. A Primer on immunizations will also be included.
This course is the third in a series of three courses. Pharmacologic management of neurological, psychiatric, endocrine and reproductive disorders will be included. A Primer on health promotion will also be included.
This is a three modular course that will integrate with Patient Assessment and build upon the critical thinking skills and medical knowledge from Clinical Medicine 1-3 courses. This course will provide you with the opportunity to develop the ability to recognize, understand, and manage common acute, emergent and chronic disorders encountered in emergency medicine, pediatrics and surgery. It will provide you with instruction in etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostics testing, diagnosis and management of patients including patient education and referral. In addition, the concepts of rehabilitative care, health promotion and disease prevention will be presented and discussed and where applicable, genetic mechanisms will be integrated to determine appropriate genetic risk factors, need for genetic testing and referral.
This course is the first in a series of three courses. It is a review of normal human anatomy and physiology as well as presentation of pathophysiology associated with a variety of disease states. Utilizing a systems approach, learners will see how these disease states affect normal body functioning, as well as how the body compensates during times of disease states. Pathophysiology provides a foundation for the study of clinical medicine. 3 credits
