MPAS 553 Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, & Behavioral Medicine
MPAS 553 Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, and Behavioral 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 related to ophthalmology, otolaryngology and behavioral medicine 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.
