Building upon foundational skills and competencies, this practicum focuses on advancing clinical reasoning and expanding diagnostic and management capabilities of adolescent, adult, and older adult primary care patients. Students will refine management of common health conditions and begin caring for patients with increasingly complex healthcare needs. Students will continue incorporating health promotion and disease prevention strategies while integrating evidence-based practice.
Outcomes: Justify clinical decision-making in the formulation of differential diagnoses; Implement evidence-based therapeutic plans for primary care conditions, considering patient preferences, socio-economic, and cultural contexts; Order diagnostic tests aligned with patient presentations; Engage in shared decision-making with patients and caregivers to promote health, self-care management, and health literacy; Apply principles of patient care coordination and referral for continuity of care across the healthcare continuum; Implement interventions to reduce risk factors for diverse and vulnerable populations from middle adolescents to frail older adults.
