About this Unit
This problem based unit is designed to integrate knowledge and skills required to practice osteopathy in the clinical setting. It will introduce students to the issues involved in clinical reasoning; the different types of clinical reasoning used in solving problems; and reasoning used in designing and conducting the therapeutic intervention. It will teach students how to: integrate multiple modes of reasoning into clinical problem solving; to differentially diagnose; to apply the skills of clinical reasoning to the diagnostic process. Students also develop these abilities in a supervised clinical setting..
