PAS-5050 Clinical Problem Solving 1
Using a problem-based learning format in a small group setting, students will learn to synthesize the medical knowledge and skills obtained throughout the curriculum and develop the critical thinking skills integral to clinical problem-solving. Through the application of self-discovery and integration of clinical reasoning, students will engage in medical decision-making based on evidence-based practice. Patient cases will relate to the organ systems studied in the Clinical Medicine courses.
Additionally, students will be involved in preclinical experiences. These shadowing experiences will have a primary care focus, but will also expose students to specialty practice and other ancillary services of medicine. Students will have the opportunity to observe the application of the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes learned in the classroom. Students will observe the provider and patient interactions during the majority of the experiences, however, some preceptors may allow students direct interaction with patients as their knowledge and skills progress. The preclinical experiences serve as an introduction to practice-based medicine and a precursor to the clinical year of the Program.
