MED 5128 - PATIENT, PHYSICIAN AND SOCIETY BLOCK - SECTION 2: BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE
Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 0
Section 2 of this block consists of the course - behavioral medicine - which is a multi-faceted consideration of human behavior from the perspectives of both the patient and the physician. The course uses the biopsychosocial model to consider defining elements of the patient-physician relationship, showing how neurobiological, behavioral and social factors can have determinative and interactive impacts in the causation and course of human disease, how they contribute to health, and how they can be modified. Topics are introduced in large group format via patient interviews, videos and panel discussions, each followed by breakout small group sessions featuring case-based scenarios to further the understanding of this complex topic. Student evaluations are based on small group participation, a writing assignment and an exam.
