The art of patient education and counseling will be developed as introduced in Healthcare Issues I. This semester will include gastroenterology, cardiology, and genitourinary/ renal systems. This course will continue to focus on hands on practice and training within the lab setting with simulated, cadaveric, real patient models, small groups and clinical site visits. This course will build upon the foundations of ECG interpretation and radiologic review from PAE I.
