This course is the first of three courses designed to introduce the student to patient history taking, communication, and documentation skills. This course introduces students to the basics of history taking and students will begin using medical diagnostic equipment as they develop the skills needed to perform a complete physical examination. This course will use traditional lectures, assigned lab partners and simulated/standardized patients to gain the skills and knowledge to perform a thorough history and physical examination. This course integrates effective communication and basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Only students admitted to the NDMU PA Program may take this course. [ 3 credits ]
