Using primary care case examples and student-centered learning modalities, students will integrate knowledge across clinical disciplines to achieve a holistic approach to clinical reasoning and patient care. With modules designed to support competency development in the professionalism, communication, collaboration, financial, and evidence based-practice domains, students will also develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively with clients and healthcare teams.
