8 Credit Hours

This is the first course in a three-part series, which focuses on human diseases and disorders in the clinical medicine. This course runs concurrently with and builds upon their courses this term to include (1) pharmacology, (2) physical diagnosis, (3) critical reasoning. The Medicine section of the course will instruct the student on illnesses related to constitutional, cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and otolaryngology. The student will review the pathophysiology of each organ system in relation to disease processes. Integration of this material as well as clinical presentation, ECG interpretation and history and physical examination findings will aid the student in developing a differential diagnosis and treatment plan. Emphasis will be on disease processes common to primary care practices, development of a differential diagnosis, interpreting diagnostic tests, and treatment plans. The course will be taught via lecture, small groups, PBL format and discussion.
