Basic science subject matter including anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, and x-ray physics will be reinforced through stepwise application in simulated clinical situations. The student is expected to apply their knowledge of these subjects, guiding their clinical judgment in areas of history taking, physical examination, orthopedic and neurologic assessment, and patient management. Classroom instruction includes individual, small-group and large-group activities.
