MSPA 5035 - Clinical Medicine: Endocrinology

4 credit hours

The Clinical Medicine series is a twelve-course series that provides physician assistant students a systems-based education on health promotion and disease prevention, and patient evaluation, diagnosis, and management across the life span. Building upon the material that is presented in the foundations of medicine courses, each course in the clinical medicine series will provide instruction covering a body system, developing an understanding of the pathophysiologic basis of disease (including genetics and molecular mechanisms of disease), generating systems-specific differential diagnoses, ordering and interpreting diagnostic studies, and formulating and implementing pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment.
