Description

How do you supplement the in-person clinical rotations of future PA’s with patient video cases that round out their knowledge? That’s the essence of this course, which comprises 8 cases designed to build the clinical reasoning of PA’s progressing through the second semester of their clinical year. Questions in this course are mostly free response, which allows students to write their own answers to such questions as:

  • What additional questions would you ask her at this time? (think OPQRSTA)
  • What is in your differential diagnosis? Select up to 4 correct answers
  • What blood test is important to order at this time given her medical history?
  • Which consults would you order as part of your admit orders on this patient?

Learning objectives

  • Practice your patient interviewing skills by identifying relevant questions to ask
  • Test your awareness of the urgency of specific vital signs
  • Build a differential diagnosis for each patient video case
  • Assess your knowledge of common tests and their appropriateness to the cases at hand
  • Start to create treatment plans for follow-up care
