  • PHA 509: Professional and Medical Practice Issues

    1.00 Credits
    Rocky Mountain College

    Summer semester. 1 semester hours. This course, which is taken in each of the three full didactic semesters, examines a professional's obligations and a patient's rights in regard to ethical and social issues in medicine. Thorny dilemmas, such as the role of using humans in research studies, decisions not to treat or to resuscitate, inherent conflicts in genetics and reproductive technologies, as well as professional concerns about paternalism, patient rights, and confidentiality are examined. Students learn to think critically, drawing upon their own experience, to develop an understanding of how to handle ethical dilemmas while practicing primary care medicine. Preparation includes understanding how to interpret medical literature and how to ethically apply research. Additionally, students learn the history of the physician assistant profession and become culturally and socially aware of how professional credentialing, the regulation of caregiver's clinical responsibilities, and ethical/legal considerations influence their interaction with patients, as well as their place in the profession.

  • PHA 513: Biostatistics and Epidemiology

    2.00 Credits
    Rocky Mountain College

    Summer semester. 2 semester hours. This course is designed to acquaint the student with the basics of biostatistics and epidemiology and emphasizes how an understanding of these areas is important in clinical medicine. Epidemiologic data is invaluable to the medical provider as it engenders perspective and guides clinical decision making. An understanding of biostatistics is important not only for analyzing the results of research but also for understanding and reducing errors. This course centers on cases to illustrate pertinent concepts and prepares the student to be a responsible dispenser of medical resources and a knowledgeable consumer of the medical literature. Pitfalls and biases of both medical practice and publications as they relate to statistics are a major focus.
