Course Descriptions

PHA328
Physical Assessment I
The focus of this three-part course is on the development of the complete physical examination skills, recognition of normal and abnormal findings, documentation of the entire exam in a systematic fashion, and a discussion of the oral presentation of the physical exam data. Laboratory sessions are designed to give the student opportunity for supervised "hands-on" practice of the material covered in lecture. This course is divided into components organized by body systems. These physical examination techniques that are taught in this course are integrated with material that is concurrently presented in the Clinical Medicine series. 2 Credits (1 Lecture - 3 Lab) Corequisite(s): PHA310 and PHA322 and PHA327 and PHA346. Fall Only.
