Cases in Clinical Medicine
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Scott, Pamela Moyers, PUBLISHER: Jones & Bartlett Publishers, Utilizing case-based learning, Cases in Clinical Medicine teaches students about clinical conditions by providing case scenarios in which the student must combine analytical skills with medical knowledge to make the correct diagnosis. Patient vignettes are followed by a series of multiple choice questions regarding the next, most appropriate course of action. These questions follow the familiar S.O.A.P. (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) format and require the student to determine and justify which aspects of the patienta (TM)s history, physical examination, and diagnostic studies are essential to determining the correct diagnosis and treatment. This collection of cases gives your students the opportunity they need to apply their classroom and clinical knowledge to real-life scenarios. Cases in Clinical Medicine is divided into 10 chapters, organized by organ system, and corresponds with the blueprint established for the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) for the Physician Assistant National Certification Examination (PANCE).
