PMO 688 Information Gathering in Clinical Medicine
Information gathered in the clinical setting becomes data used in epidemiological and health outcomes research. This course will provide opportunities for students to learn from research- oriented practicing clinicians in a clinical setting. Students will learn the problems involved in collecting accurate information from patients through history-taking, physical examination, laboratory testing, and questionnaire administration. Teaching methods will center on observation of the physician at work and, as much as possible, active participation of the students in collecting data, and will include assigned readings and tutorials
