This course is a discussion course focused on problem based learning of patient care. The course aides the student by relating previous and current laboratory, classroom, and clinical experiences into a more meaningful perspective of total patient care. Physician, faculty, and students present real patient cases to the class from their own clinical experience. Class discussion focuses on patient assessment, diagnostic laboratory testing, and analysis to rule out a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan with follow up assessment of therapy for effectiveness. Physician led discussion of medical topics such as: taking a patient history, past medical history, social history, assessing chief complaint, physical examination, evaluation of chest and upper airways, radiologic interpretation, special procedures, mechanical ventilation, differential diagnostic procedures, ethical-legal issues, pathology, pharmacologic intervention, and other related material are presented during the term. In this course, disease processes are explored in depth as to etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, therapeutics, prognosis, and respiratory involvement.
