Primary Care of the Adult & Older Adult II Practicum

3 credits

In this second precepted adult-gerontology primary care course, students integrate didactic learning into clinical practice settings and refine the clinical application of person-centered primary care. A trauma-informed, ethical, and humanistic care approach is applied considering diverse populations. The critical analysis of data and diagnostic reasoning is used to provide evidence-based, cost-effective care in light of acute, chronic, and complex health needs for the adult-gerontology population. Advanced clinical decision-making and increasing autonomy in practice are emphasized. Clinical faculty facilitate and assess learning through preceptor collaboration, clinical seminars, and review of clinical documentation.
