2.00 Credits
Continuing the problem-based educational model, this course focuses on children and their families. The student will engage in case formulations that require synthesis and evaluation of knowledge, skills, and clinical reasoning to determine best practice. A variety of conditions and contexts will be used to facilitate student learning and competence in pediatrics. Autonomy and leadership will be facilitated through critical thinking regarding the occupational therapy process for children and youth to prepare the student for professional practice. Offered summer semester only.

5.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth study of the structure and relationship of the various organ systems of the human body. It is divided into 5 major sections; upper extremity, back and lower extremity, head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and neuroscience. Each section is designed to complement the others and to integrate the information studied in the Clinical Assessment course. Examination of cadavera is emphasized throughout the entire course. Students will learn anatomical terminology and 3-dimensional anatomy to integrate with clinical correlations, utilizing diagnostic images. The laboratory utilizes prosections, anatomical models, skeletal materials, and cross sections. 5.000 Credit Hours

2.00 Credits
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.

1.00 Credits
This course is divided into four distinct activities designed to enhance the students' abilities to integrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes acquired in other courses. The first section is designed to provide a forum for students to process issues related to returning to school, to examine techniques to build communication skills, and to discuss the stress students might encounter during their time in the Physician Assistant Program. A second section will utilize those skills learned in Clinical Assessment I, integrating history and physical exam results to clearly present a patient in both oral and written formats. The third section of this course is designed to provide the student with a structural approach to the skills necessary for developing the differential diagnosis and management plan of common clinical problems. Emphasis is on the correlation of historical information, physical exam findings and pertinent laboratory results to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan. Through small group problem-based cases facilitated by faculty members, the student will apply knowledge acquired from previous or concurrent didactic courses to problem solve. The problem-based cases will relate to topics taught in ICM I. The final section of the course will be conducted as a lecture/seminar series. Presentations will establish descriptively the historical circumstances that contributed to the development of the Physician Assistant (PA) profession and the evolution to the current role of the PA as a member of an interdisciplinary team. The student will also be introduced to the PA role in a variety of health care settings and the professional organizations designed to support the PA practice.

2.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to normal physiology and pathophysiology, specifically diagnostic principles and therapeutic procedures as they pertain to dermatology and opthalmology. Cellular physiology will be a focus of study, to prepare students for the system-specific physiology they will encounter in Clinical Medicine II and III.
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of issues pertinent to the United States healthcare system. It examines the legal, economic, and ethical factors relevant to practice as a Physician Assistant.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the students to the practice of health promotion and disease prevention and the fundamentals of patient education. Using a developmental approach, students will gain an understanding of health risks and how to assess them, as well as the screening techniques for promoting health and preventing disease, at each stage of the life cycle.
-
2.00 Credits
This course, a continuation of Clinical Assessment I, is designed to enhance students¿ diagnostic skills. An overview of diagnostic studies commonly utilized in primary care and an approach to their interpretation will be presented. A large section will be devoted to the principles and practice of electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. Students will learn to interpret heart sounds and diagnose cardiac murmurs. The fundamentals of diagnostic radiology common radiographic techniques will be introduced, with emphasis placed on the systems studied in ICM II. Students will gain experience with the Clinical Simulation Program in two lab exercises.
-
1.00 Credits
This seminar provides an ongoing forum for students to process their cumulative learning experiences, to develop a reflective approach to the application of their learning and to synthesize newly acquired knowledge and skills into a meaningful whole as they proceed to the next level of knowledge and competence. It includes small group case-based problem-based learning.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores immunology and the roles of bacteria, viruses and other infectiouns disease-causing microorganisms and useful diagnostic laboratory procedures. Clinical significance of pathogenicity and therapy are emphasized.
