MPAS 541 Cardiovascular Medicine
MPAS 541 Cardiovascular Medicine uses an organ-system approach for the study of clinical science. This approach builds on the principles presented in the first semester that established a foundation in human physiology, pathological conditions, relevant pharmacology, and served as an introduction to organ systems. During this course, commonly encountered medical problems of the cardiovascular system (including ECG interpretation) are covered. The clinical presentation, epidemiology, pathology, patient assessment, diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, management including pharmacotherapy, and clinical course of these conditions are explored. Emphasis is on continued development of interviewing and physical examination skills, recognizing and interpreting abnormal physical findings, developing problem lists and differential diagnoses, and refining the documentation and presentation of patient evaluation data.
