The interactive effects of normal, pathological, developmental, or age-related and environmental influences on the ability to perform activities of daily living and in response to exercise are considered. The implications of pharmacologic use and interactions on the relevant systems and on exercise tolerance are emphasized. This course will also include several days of structured clinical exposure for each student over the semester that will be tied to semester coursework and will serve as a mechanism for understanding clinical relevance to practice and patient care.
Offered: Fall Semester All Years

Students will develop an understanding of how patient data and documentation systems are used to direct patient care, support inter-professional communication, and provide a rationale for the patient's plan of care. Students will establish differential diagnoses as well as determine the implications of findings and the need for referral to other health care practitioners.

The intervention options, rationales, and implications for choices in these more complex patients will be considered. The impact of lifespan issues, family/cultural/societal support systems and expectations, and healthcare resource limitations will also be considered in the context of how these will affect evaluation, prognosis, and intervention for a patient. Patient advocacy issues relative to obtaining equipment and support services will be included. Also included in this semester and tied to components of each course are a series of structured clinical exposures for each student per semester that will serve as a mechanism for understanding clinical relevance to practice and patient care.
