CBIQ 5007 - Case-Based Inquiry III

11.5 credit hours

This block builds on the CBIQ process learned in blocks 1 & 2 with special emphasis on cases involving the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. All basic, clinical, and health systems sciences are derived from cardiovascular and pulmonary cases to fully integrate and understand all the underlying mechanisms behind the clinical case presentation. As with real patient scenarios, basic science mechanisms may not be limited to the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, thus review and application of previously learned material may be emphasized. Clinical presentation schemes are utilized to reinforce clinical decision making and to guide in identification of the underlying mechanisms leading to key clinical decision-making points. Material presented in Medical Skills and Osteopathic Principles and Practice are integrated to emphasize clinical reasoning and application.
