MPAS 523 Patient-Centered Care II
The two-semester Patient-Centered Care (PCC) sequence of courses is designed to challenge students to develop clinical reasoning skills and critical thinking, enhance interpersonal and communication skills, apply evidence-based resources, and problem-solve as clinicians and as members of an interdisciplinary health care team. PCC I and II are taught concurrently with two semesters of clinical medicine courses and utilizes knowledge of disorders from these courses. In PCC I, coursework will include an introduction to medical documentation and clinical cases. In PCC II, coursework will continue to expand on various types of medical documentation and clinical cases. In preparation for the clinical year, PCC II will also introduce the student to oral case presentations. In both courses, the concepts of patient-centered team-based care and inter-professionalism are incorporated to aid in the development of a comprehensive healthcare provider.
