Fall 2020 Lecture Upper DivisionThis is an elective class which gives participants more experience working up patient cases with multiple complications and an opportunity to make recommendations to a team. The material for each case will be derived from actual cases and topics will include continuity of care problems, typical problems/diseases seen in hospitalized patients, and a host of other chronic illnesses. During the 3-week class, students will have 1-1.5 hours to work on a patient case in class and address challenges faced in the clinical setting. The second half of class will be used for students to present their recommendations to a "medicine team" (made up of your classmates and teachers). Students will be responsible for creating a pharmacist problem list and making verbal drug therapy recommendations. The majority of the grade will come from in-class participation with other points coming from online quizzes, communication exercises, and follow-up answers from clinical questions. Typically offered Fall.
