ICMDG 1625: Osteopathic Patient Care II

Osteopathic Patient Care II is a blend of case-based curriculum, online modules, large group didactics, and small group workshops. In the case sessions, each week, a new case is presented, and students must obtain a history and physical examination on the patient. Students work individually to determine problem lists, differentials and treatment plans, and write SOAP notes, prescriptions, admission notes, and admission orders. An in-depth discussion of the case is provided by the faculty the following week. Additional sessions of this course provide further clinical correlations in either workshop, online module, or lecture format, with a strong focus on the gastrointestinal, renal, and genitourinary systems. Topics in evidence-based medicine and biostatistics are incorporated throughout the course. Workshops include jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, ultrasound and case presentations.
