Curriculum Description (Courses taught)
1.Physical Examination and Assessment Laboratory: Health Assessment has been designed to provide entry-level knowledge and psychomotor skills necessary for assessing the health status of clients.

Students will be introduced to a broad range of normal variations through supervised practice with peers in the laboratory setting. The skill laboratory which includes independent and supervised practice provides opportunities for students to develop entry-level competencies before proceeding to clinical settings for additional practice and refinement of psychomotor skills.
