PAST 509A Clinical Practicum II

Credits: 3
This is the second of a three-term course designed to provide students opportunities to apply their developing knowledge and skills in real and simulated clinical settings. This course builds upon the themes introduced in the first term with continued interactive learning and specialized workshops that provide hands-on experiences for the demonstration and application of clinical topics. Applying the concepts of evidence-based medicine to hypothetical case scenarios will reinforce students’ ability to apply sound clinical reasoning to patient care. When possible, these sessions will augment the material being taught in the Clinical Medicine courses. In addition to didactic and small group activities, students will continue to work directly with patients in clinic-based experiences working with a PA or physician “mentor”.
