PAS 5061 Physical Diagnosis 2 1.5 Credit
This is the second of three sequential Physical Diagnosis courses designed to prepare the physician assistant student to elicit a medical history, perform a physical examination, and appropriately document their findings. Students will be trained to demonstrate sensitivity to gender, age, and culture in their patient interactions. Students will practice their history taking and examination techniques during faculty-supervised peer and standardized patient encounters. As each body system is reviewed, emphasis is placed on the understanding of the relationship between presenting signs and symptoms and their physiologic or pathophysiologic origins. In-Person, Lecture/Lab.
