PAS-5141 Advanced Clinical Skills 2
Advanced Clinical Skills (ACS) 2 is the second of three clinical skills courses. Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and practice sessions, students will learn to use a wide variety of diagnostic and treatment modalities and procedures. Students will learn about the indications and limitations of described procedures, and determine when a patient should be referred to a specialist for further care. Each clinical skill lab experience will be preceded by a lecture and/or a required reading and video. The course also includes lab workshops that will focus on the application and interpretation of laboratory values for given clinical scenarios. Students will justify their lab orders and discuss the lab interpretations in small groups to effectively assess, treat and educate a patient within a given clinical scenario. Lectures on radiologic tests and the interpretation of such tests will be provided. Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification sponsored by the American Heart Association (AHA) will also be provided.
