This course is the first in
a sequence of three courses providing a practical evidence-based
approach to clinical diagnostic testing and pathophysiology in the
primary care setting. Students will learn how to order, perform, and
interpret the results of diagnostic tests, imaging, and
electrophysiology studies most commonly used in primary care. Special
attention is given to identify the underlying pathophysiology that
results in abnormal test findings. Students will learn the indications
for, sequencing of, and interpretation of results in test and studies
commonly used in the diagnosis of hematological, cardiovascular,
pulmonary, renal, and fluid and electrolyte disorders.
