Content
In this course, common endocrinological and hematological patient problems are central. These patient problems serve as the starting point for learning medical diagnostic skills and the (pharmaco)therapeutic process. Through lectures, practical sessions, and working groups, students learn to reason and act clinically, with attention to both curative and preventive aspects. This includes being able to logically compose and implement a (pharmacotherapeutic) treatment plan.
The actions of the Physician Assistant (PA) are preferably evidence-based, meaning they are partly grounded in data from scientific research. Therefore, it is important that students are able to assess the quality, outcome, and relevance of research results and conclusions. To this end, the key methodological and statistical aspects are covered.
