PAMS 6161 HEAL II

This is a continuation of the HEAL I course.  This course continues to reinforce the knowledge of important medical practitioner attributes including humanities, ethics, altruism, and leadership.  Students will learn about the principles and practice of medical laws and regulations, cultural competency, diversity, clinical informatics, professional organizations, and preparing students to work collaboratively in interprofessional patient centered teams. Interprofessional patient centered team instruction will emphasize leadership styles and the importance of cultivating these skills. This course provides additional instruction on the constantly changing health care system, including racial, ethnic, and religious disparities, as well as social determinants of health and the impact on health care delivery. It assists them in becoming aware of differing health beliefs, values and expectations of patients and other health care professionals that can affect communication, decision-making, compliance, and health outcomes.  This course also provides instruction and assessment in the development of clinical reasoning and problem-solving abilities, and developing a differential diagnosis and patient management plan related to individualized patient care.
