OCOM 7004 - The Osteopathic Approach to Patient Care 4 - Return to Wellness
The Osteopathic Approach to Patient Care 4 Course integrates topics from the previous three courses and provides overarching generalist topics via sequential patient presentations. Biomedical, social, osteopathic, clinical, and health systems science curricular threads are streamlined and optimized for course sequence of topics. Classroom experiences emphasize application and integration of foundational concepts learned through faculty- and learner-directed study, and laboratory-based experiences complement and reinforce course topics. Clinical and community experiences emphasize patient-centeredness and team-based care, and relate back to course topics and patient presentations via critical reflection via longitudinal academic and professional coaching/mentoring.
