Clinical Science: Professional Issues

3 units

As the third in a series of three core clinical science courses, this course focuses on (a) ethical foundations of clinical practice; (b) knowledge of issues of diversity and their application in clinical practice; (c) skill building in essential empirically supported techniques; and (d) building knowledge in current issues and standards of clinical science. The latter course content is purposefully kept open so that this course can be adapted as needed to address the most crucial concerns in the field. Prerequisites: Graduate study in the clinical science program or permission of instructors
