Description

This Problem Based Learning (PBL) course facilitates learning through small group discussion and analysis of clinical cases related to the developmental stage of late adulthood. Students engage in communication, collaboration, and clinical reasoning during the process of forming questions, investigating possible answers, and understanding the relationships among the person, environment, and occupations. Cases typically encompass not only a given diagnosis, but also the impact of biological processes, environment and lifestyle on the individual, the community and society. Students engage in concept mapping activities to explore the complexity of the cases and are required to support clinical decisions with available evidence. Students are exposed to electronic documentation to prepare for clinical practice.
