PAMS 6165 HEAL III

This is a continuation of the HEAL II 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 ethics and law, health disparities, patient safety, reduction of medical errors and risk management, provider wellness, and preparing students to work collaboratively in interprofessional patient centered teams. Interprofessional patient centered team instruction will emphasize the importance of volunteerism in the interprofessional team. This course provides additional instruction on health disparities including disability status and gender identity. Instruction related to medical care and diversity aims to prepare students to evaluate their own values and avoid stereotyping.  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.
