Advanced Medical Practice

This a four-week elective for fourth-year students. While medical school prepares its graduates to collect and analyze information to diagnose and treat disease, there are many gaps in what is taught regarding business and practice management skills. Additionally, gaps may be found in students' training to handle many challenging situations such as end-of-life care. This course provides students with skills in practice management, medical jurisprudence, advanced physical examination skills, and challenging patient situations.
