AM5300 Survey of Western Clinical Sciences 1 Lecture/Lab
This is the first course in a three-course sequence that emphasizes the systemic approach to Western pathology and the signs and symptoms that are clinically associated with disease in the various organ systems. Topics include internal medicine, neurology, obstetrics/gynecology, orthopedics, dermatology, ophthalmology, ear, nose, and throat, and urology. Students learn standard physical exam and assessment skills from a Western clinical sciences perspective, including neuromusculoskeletal, orthopedic, neurological, abdominal, and ear, nose, and throat examinations and functional assessment. Procedures for ordering diagnostic imaging, radiological and laboratory tests, and incorporating the resulting data and reports are also covered. Primary and secondary care responsibilities are addressed and special emphasis is placed on the recognition of subjective and objective findings that would indicate the necessity for a referral.
