This course introduces several concepts including the patient’s perspective of health, illness, and patient-provider interactions, public health key concepts, educational assessment, and consultation related to medication use. The main goal of this course is to help students understand and think about healthcare through both the patient and population lens, as well as understanding their role as a healthcare provider. Sociological and psychological implications of living with chronic medical conditions are discussed. Students learn to consider how the patient feels and how they can impact both patient and population outcomes as health care professionals.
