3.00 Credits
In this course, students build upon the knowledge and skills obtained in PA 541 Pharmacology I. Combined lecture and active learning exercises are designed to demonstrate the pharmacologic and therapeutic skills that a physician assistant will need to enhance patient care in clinical practice, focusing on gastroenterology, neurology, rheumatoloty, pain management, and endocrinology. Students use clinical literature and evaluate patient cases as they relate to pharmacology.
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students learn the pharmacologic and therapeutic skills that a physician assistant needs to enhance patient care in clinical practice focusing on renal disease, genitourinary and psychiatric disorders, and alternative/complimentary medicines and dietary supplements. Students use clinical literature and to evaluate patient cases as they related to pharmacology.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with a working knowledge of the major anatomical regions and structures of the body. Emphasis is placed upon the relationships of components within a specific region, as well as topographical and functional anatomy as they relate to physical examination skills and clinical applications.
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students learn integrative human physiology and pathophysiology involving concepts of cell biology, and the pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal and reproductive systems, with an emphasis upon homeostatic mechanisms and etiologies of disease. Students learn the interrelationships of function and dysfunction at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and systemic levels.
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students will learn integrative human physiology and pathophysiology involving the gastrointestinal, neurological, musculoskeletal and endocrine systems, with an emphasis upon homeostatic mechanisms and the etiologies of disease states. Students will learn the interrelationship of function and dysfunction at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and systemic levels.
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students learn treatment of trauma and medical disorders commonly presenting to the emergency department. Taught in a case-based format, the emphasis is on the priority of stabilizing patients with life-threatening trauma or illness and selecting appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Students are required to become ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certified or recertified in anticipation of clinical rotations.
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students employ knowledge, skills, and techniques learned in PA 539 Patient Assessment II to evaluate surgical patients. Students learn to perform procedures such as suturing, splinting, wound care, intravenous insertions, nasogastric intubations and Foley catheter insertion. Students learn principles of surgery, including pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative care, and minor surgical procedures.
-
5.00 Credits
In this course, students learn the special needs of patients within three primary care subspecialties: women's health, pediatrics, and geriatrics.
-
1.00 Credits
The successful practice of modern medicine includes the recognition of the role of genetic factors in health and disease. In this course, students will learn to explain the genetic basis of disease and to obtain an accurate genetic pedigree and convey information to patients. Students learn an effective approach to health maintenance, disease prevention, disease diagnosis, and treatment based on patients' genetic predispositions.
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students receive instruction in research methods and application in the clinical setting. They integrate basic concepts of epidemiology and statistics as these concepts relate to medical practice. Students critically read published reports of clinical research and identify strengths and weaknesses in the structure and presentation of data and conclusions in those reports. They interpret and search evidence-based literature related to clinical problems encountered in physician assistant practice.
