CBIQ 5008 - Case-Based Inquiry IV

12.5 credit hours

Block 4 is a continuation of the process introduced during all previous CBIQ blocks with an emphasis on cases involving the gastrointestinal and renal systems. All basic, clinical, and health systems sciences are derived from gastrointestinal and renal 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 gastrointestinal and renal 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.
