NURS 311 The Clinical Detective
This course will utilize specific case studies to hone students diagnostic and critical thinking in health care settings. Sherlock Holmes stories (authored by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1892) will be employed in conjunction with case studies from Aquifer and Core Clinical Cases: Medicine and Medical Specialties (2012) as a method to help students master generation and prioritization of differential diagnoses.
The course focus on patient-centered evidence-based care is congruent with the University mission which seeks to discover and impart the truth through excellence in teaching and research all in service to others.
