INTM 9547 Advanced Clinical Reasoning - Elements of Patient Care

This is an advanced course in clinical reasoning and builds upon skills and knowledge accumulated from years 1-3. Our innovative curriculum allows for self-directed learning, faculty guidance, direct patient interactions and the opportunity to teach. What is clinical reasoning? It is how we collect cues, process information, understand the situation and implement interventions. You'll write a guide on one clinical case and serve as a teacher and role-model for year 1 and year 2 students. You will have autonomy in deciding what types of cases you are interested in learning about, ranging from high-value care, breaking bad news, or chest pain. We hope to reinvigorate the patient-physician relationship and cultivate the critical thinker and teacher within you.
