About this Unit
This problem-based unit is designed to develop the students skills required to practice osteopathy in the clinical setting. It will develop clinical reasoning underlying the evaluation and identification of clinical problems. Students will learn the issues involved in appraising and evaluating patient problems along with developing and understanding patient history taking and clinical examination. The students will learn to evaluate diagnostic information and use the process of a diagnostic sieve. Students develop these abilities in a supervised clinical setting.
