MSPA 5090 - History & Physical Examination II
2 credit hours
The History and Physical Examination series is a four-course series that builds on the principles learned in the Introduction to Patient Assessment course. The course will reinforce the teachings of culturally proficient patient care by accounting for patient’s cultural heritage when taking a patient history, performing physical exam as well as exam analysis so that the patient’s hue does not adversely impact their health outcome.
This course will also teach the student effective verbal and non-verbal skills for communicating with patients, their families, and other health professionals. Students will learn and practice basic counseling, patient education skills, and care plan development.
Learning is accomplished through textbook readings, pre-lab review of preparatory materials, lab readiness assurance quizzes, in lab demonstration & guided physical exam practice, in lab demonstration & guided use of basic diagnostic equipment, team-based problem-solving scenarios, standardized patient encounters, medical documentation practice, and other modalities.
The History and Physical Examination series has been carefully organized to present material system by system to promote interaction of material from parallel courses in the curriculum, i.e. Clinical Medicine, and Body, Mind, & Spirit.
