PHAS533

Building upon the foundation of knowledge gained in Physical Diagnosis I, this course continues to explore the principles and skills required to perform a complete physical examination and special diagnostic maneuvers. A combined lecture and laboratory format is utilized. Using an organ systems approach, emphasis is on normal adult physical findings. The examination of children, adolescents and the elderly will also be discussed. This forms the basis for correlating pathologic findings and underlying diseases. Students will continue learning to accurately integrate and record historical and physical findings in written format. Actual gynecological and female breast examinations on live models are integrated in this course.
