PASP 504 Physical Examination II

This second course in a two-course series provides instruction in primary clinical skills as well as continued development in performing a medical history and physical examination (with emphasis on special patient populations, including pediatrics, obstetrics, and geriatrics.) The course discusses end of life, palliative care, and interprofessional education as well as provides each student with onboarding activities through a local hospital regarding facility policies and procedures that are relevant to PA practice. The course continues to provide ways to effectively exchange information and collaborate with patients, their families and other health professionals to provide culturally competent care. Students also engage in preclinical experiences in a variety of healthcare settings along with an interprofessional education opportunity. Content is delivered through a blend of in person and clinical experiences, lectures, patient interviews, and hands on labs.
