PA 6430 - Clinical Medicine III

4 credit hours

Prerequisites: Admission to the Physician Assistant Studies program; successful completion of PA 6410 and PA 6420. In the last of the Clinical Medicine series, students will continue to expand the breadth of medical knowledge required to practice medicine through a problem-oriented approach. An in-depth examination of orthopaedics, rheumatology, neurology, endocrinology, and infectious disease will promote further understanding of the epidemiology, precipitating factors, etiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical presentation and manifestations, red flags, diagnostics, clinical intervention, management of diseases and disorders, clinical pearls, and differential diagnoses relevant to these specialties. As with previous courses, acute/chronic care plans, preventive measures, appropriate patient education, and referrals will be seamlessly integrated into the curriculum as an integral part of holistic healthcare.
