Credit(s): 1.67

This course employs a problem-based learning model within small groups to enhance
clinical reasoning and familiarity with medical evidence. Students engage in case studies
that are intricately designed around key organ systems such as the HEENT system,
specialized populations of pediatrics and geriatrics, and integrating environmental
medicine and parenteral therapy. Through collaborative discussion and active
exploration, students address common healthcare challenges, integrating clinical science
principles. The course emphasizes the development of critical clinical skills, including
patient interviewing, physical examinations, clinical assessments, and medical charting.
This dynamic, active learning environment equips students with the essential skills and
attitudes needed to excel as medical professionals.
