Fall semester. 3 semester hours. The recognition and management of common psychosocial problems is a critical skill to develop as a primary care provider. The fundamental role of interviewing and history taking will be emphasized as students are introduced to several techniques that will vacilitate communicating and developing rapport with the patient. Treatment will be discussed from a biopsychosocial perspective with reference to psychotherapies, psychopharmacology, and environmental intervention. The role that psychosocial dynamics play in all areas of medicine will be of major focus and case studies are used to emphasize the delicate interplay. Psychiatric topics covered will include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychoses, organic conditions, substance use disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and psychiatric emergencies and crises. Additionally, there is an introduction to the concepts of death, dying, and bereavement

Spring semester. 2 semester hours. Pathophysiology provides the basic link among the sciences of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry and their application to the clinical practice of medicine. It is essential to study pathophysiology in order to understand the rationale for medical and surgical therapy. Topics will include basic physiology as well as inflammatory response, vascular and metabolic changes that result in altered structure and function, and the examination of gross and microscopic structural changes and resulting bodily malfunctions.

Summer semester. 3 semester hours. This course is designed to teach students the essentials of gross anatomy pertaining to clinical practice. Cadavers and cadaveric specimens will play a fundamental role as we relate lecture/discussions to laboratory study. Students will learn to relate anatomical structures in the human body, skeletons, and models to imaging studies. The surface anatomy component introduces the student to the clinical setting and describes the visible and palpable anatomy that forms the basis of physical examination. Through laboratory workshops, students will learn to visualize how their interaction with the body's surface interplays with internal anatomy.

2.00 Credits
Fall semester. 2 semester hours. This three-semester course will present common laboratory diagnostics employed in the evaluation of disease processes. Students develop proficiency in performing and analyzing such routine procedures as a CBC, a urinalysis, gram stains, and cultures. Students will develop skills and screening techniques in interpreting clinical laboratory values in relation to disease, therapy, and prognoses common to the delivery of primary care medicine. Students will also employ proper methods of performing various clinical procedures, such as intravenous catheter insertion, intramuscular injections, passing nasogastric tubes, applying plaster casts, phlebotomy, suturing and sterile technique, wound care (pre/post op), vital signs, intubation, catheterization, ear irrigations, and removal of foreign bodies. Also, this course will present fundamentals of radiology and imaging techniques and other factors involved in the roentgenographic evaluation of disease. Performing and interpreting of electrocardiograms will be presented.

Summer semester. 2 semester hours. The course will examine infant and child development, focusing on major common pediatric illnesses and their signs, symptoms, and management relative to the primary health care provider. The problem-oriented medical record is presented, i.e., the pediatric history and physical examination. Specific problems of the newborn and older child will be presented for discussion in such areas as immunity and allergy, pharmacotherapy, medical emergencies, preventive health care, and the psychosocial and developmental disabilities specific to pediatrics. Students will learn to perform and demonstrate an infant exam. Specific strategies for physical examination of the pediatric patient will be learned and practiced on live patients in a skills lab.

2.00 Credits
Spring semester. 2 semester hours. This course introduces students to the diverse practices of medicine including: Rehabilitative medicine, occupational medicine and environmental medicine. It also introduces the student to the administrative functions associated with medical practice, such as various forms of medical documentation, patient charts, CPT/ICD-9 coding, and third-party billing. Students will use their examination and history taking skills on standardized patient models in the campus physical assessment labs and then apply the administrative functions to the patient model scenarios. In addition, they will shadow volunteer medical providers or allied health professionals in the medical community throughout the semester.
