This course
is the third in a sequence of three courses providing a practical
evidence-based approach to
diagnostic testing and pathophysiology in the primary care setting.
Students will learn how to order, perform, and interpret the results
of diagnostic tests, imaging studies, and electrophysiology studies
most commonly used in primary care.
Special attention is given to identifying
the underlying pathophysiology that results in abnormal test findings.
Students will learn the indication for, sequencing of, and
interpretation of results in tests and studies commonly used in the
diagnosis of hematological diseases. Students will also learn basic
principles of radiology for the chest and abdomen.
