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.
