3.00 Credits
A continuation of PAP 208 with additional presentations and small group experiences that examine common patient conditions in neurology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, dermatology, orthopedics, and geriatrics. Focuses on developing patient and assessment treatment plans. Students learn to identify the signs and symptoms of common disorders, to further evaluate those disorders through appropriate testing, and to prepare a treatment plan to preserve health or mitigate suffering.
-
2.00 Credits
Teaches the techniques required to perform the complete physical examination of patients of all ages. Practice sessions and mock patients are used to develop the practical skills necessary to perform these tasks.

-
1.00 Credits
Teaches basic diagnostic and therapeutic clinical skills and procedures. Covers preparation of the patient, anatomical considerations, patient consent, potential complications, and clarification of therapeutic and diagnostic value of clinical procedures. Includes wound management, anesthesia, suturing techniques, injections and IV access, nasogastric intubation, and immobilization via casting and splinting.
-
1.00 Credits
Explores the relationship between physical illness and psychosocial issues in the medical setting. Examines interviewing and communication styles unique to behavioral medicine.

Presents functional and applied anatomy as it relates to common clinical findings. Provides the student with a solid understanding of the structure of the human body, with emphasis on normal vs. abnormal findings. Covers the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, urinary, respiratory, digestive, and reporductive systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the major topics in modern biochemistry, cell biology, and human genetics through the study of the chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, and covers how these components function and are involved in basic metabolic processes, such as cellular respiration, lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, and DNA replication. The basic conceptual background is provided to allow the PA student to understand disease mechanisms, clinical lab tests, and drug effects.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides the student with an improved understanding of human physiology as it relates to clinical medicine. Through lectures and examinations, students study the functional organization of the human body, membrane physiology, nerve and muscle tissue function, the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the immune system, respiration, digestion, renal function, metabolism and temperature regulation, endocrinology and human reproduction.
-
2.00 Credits
Requires students to focus on the clinical pathophysiology of human illness through the examination of the cellular and organ-based aspects of disease. Emphasis is placed on how the disease process begins, progresses and ends. Presentations in PAP 221 (Clinical Medicine) track with the material in this course, allowing students to correlate the pathophysiology of specific diseases with the medical and surgical management of those conditions.
