PTRS 8580 Comprehensive Patient Management 2.0 Credits
This culminating case-based lab course integrates prior didactic and clinical skills to advance clinical reasoning and evidence-based decision-making in preparation for professional practice. Using simulated cases, students analyze patient histories and contextual factors to develop differential diagnoses, establish clinical hypotheses, and design focused examinations. Students determine assessments, prognoses, and evidence-informed plans of care and practice examination and intervention skills. Cases span the continuum of care, including chart review, initial evaluation, treatment progression, re-examination, and discharge planning. Emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning, synthesis of prior learning, and readiness for terminal clinical experiences.
