ODS-7631 Integrated Decision Making 2
Integrated Decision Making 1-8 will tie together the concepts being taught across the curriculum during each term. Clinical concepts and cases will be introduced to emphasize and highlight selected material being taught in other courses in a given quarter as a supplement to student learning. Students will work through concepts and cases with a facilitator each week, and new material will be introduced through brief lectures as needed. The IDM sequence will begin by emphasizing skills in evidence based practice, public health, case history taking, entrance testing, and the integration of basic science into clinical care and later focus on disease detection, treatment, and management. The course sequence will also incorporate concepts from research methods such as basic study design and evaluation, developing a research question, writing an abstract, and basic epidemiology and statistics.
