PAC 503 - Clinical Assessment I

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Physician Assistant

Description:

This course is designed to introduce students to medical terminology and the basic skills necessary to perform a comprehensive screening history and physical examination. It will be taught in conjunction with the Anatomy course, and will consist of both lab and lecture hours. Aspects of the physical examination will be sequenced with the anatomy course, so students will be learning similar information in both courses simultaneously. Students will acquire an understanding of medical terminology, which will be reinforced during courses in Anatomy, and Integrated Clinical Medicine. Students will have the opportunity to practice the history-taking and physical exam skills learned in the previous session as well as the information just introduced. Students will be expected to build on previously taught portions of the exam, until they can perform a complete physical examination.
