PAST 509B Clinical Practicum III

Credits: 3
This is the third of a three-term course designed to provide students with opportunities to apply their developing knowledge and skills to clinical situations. This course builds upon the themes introduced in the first two terms with continued interactive learning and virtual exposure to application of clinical topics. Students will continue to work through hypothetical case scenarios to formulate diagnostic and therapeutic plans that are based on evidence. When possible, these sessions will augment the material being taught in the Clinical Medicine courses. Students will be exposed to a variety of clinical applications including the problem-oriented physical examination, lab and diagnostic study interpretation, principles of billing and coding, POCUS, evidence-based medicine and interpretation of the medical literature. Course content may be delivered in a variety of methods, and may include assigned reading material, virtual sessions, video recordings, and/or in-person lectures.
