MEDICAL SCREENING II

Students will be presented material that covers common pathologies associated with th e GI, Endocrine and Hematological systems. Associated with this content,

pharmacological considerations for these systems will also be covered.  The Immune system will be covered as it specifically relates to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). As was the case in Medical Screening I, students will be further evaluated on a patient case-based approach during the course, especially as it relates to quiz and exam assessments. This course will emphasize utilizing clinical decision making/differential diagnosis skills effectively and efficiently related to the concept of threshold detection to identify impairments or “red flags” in medical screening that warrant referral to other professionals.  Professional communication skills and strategies with patients/clients and physicians will be applied and practiced throughout the course.
