GMED G601 - Integrated Practice of Medicine I
Credits: 6
The first half of the M1 IPM Course: The Integrated Practice of Medicine is a multi-year module that prepares students for the multi-faceted aspects of clinical medicine including application of basic science knowledge, clinical proficiency in physical diagnosis, diagnostic testing and fundamental therapeutic procedures, patient interactions, population health, effective communication skills, behavioral and social considerations, team-based health care delivery, ethical issues, professionalism, life-long learning, research and evidence-based practice. The Integrated Practice of Medicine-1 (IPM-1) Module is presented in a “Case of the Week” format, and provides an introduction to history taking, physical examination skills, clinical reasoning, and patient-centered care. The structure of this module focuses on a team-based approach to clinical problem-solving that includes the application of basic science knowledge and social science concepts to patient care. Weekly, student teams will focus on a clinical case and identify the problem, formulate hypotheses, and develop a comprehensive approach to the case. Students will examine the role of psychological, social, behavioral, economic, and environmental factors in the health of individuals and populations. Through this process, IPM-1 will promote an understanding of patients in their varying contexts: as individuals, in a societal context, within the healthcare delivery system, and as members of a larger population. The premise of the material is that an understanding of the multifactorial aspects of health and the need to understand patients as individuals is necessary for the provision of high quality, patient-centered care. Throughout the year, students will learn to perform physician examinations. Students will begin to develop strategies to formulate differential diagnoses and explain the underlying basic science principles that lead to their hypotheses. Students will practice evidence-based strategies to support their differential diagnoses for each case.
