OCOM 651 - Clinical Skills 1


This course is the first in a series in which osteopathic medical students learn the fundamentals of patient interviewing and history taking; physical examination, including osteopathic structural assessment and palpatory diagnosis; and clinical problem solving as an active member of a learning team addressing challenges commonly encountered in osteopathic medical practice.

The course offers opportunities for students to incorporate osteopathic manipulative techniques and apply medical knowledge and skills to patient care in a supervised clinical setting. Instructors’ expectations of students are specified by an extensive list of explicit learning objectives, which constitute the basis for student assessment (exams).
