Amcanion cyffredinol
This module will introduce key areas of clinically relevant diagnostic science that aid clinicians in managing individuals both in health and disease. The module will describe the science underpinning commonly used tests conducted in the clinical setting and the laboratory. The systems covered and conditions discussed are listed in the Physician Associate (PA) Curriculum. The module will synergize with the other medical science and clinically focused modules to facilitate enhanced learning. Knowledge in this subject area is intrinsically important to the role of the Physician Associate.
Cynnwys cwrs
The module will describe how four major fields of diagnostic science are applied to augment clinical decision making, including patient monitoring and observations, common tests of blood, urine and other body fluids and tissues, imaging and other non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tools.
Using a systems approach as outlined in the Physician Associate curriculum, Matrix Specification of Core Clinical Conditions (DoH, 2006), conditions are listed within body system/clinical field; broad disorder type and individual condition/disorder.
This module will focus on the more common ‘core’ conditions listed in 1A of the PA programme model for categorising conditions, but also incorporate conditions where appropriate from 1B, 2A and 2B categories.
The module will introduce, using a systems approach, key areas where diagnostic science augments patient care, including:
- The Cardiovascular System
- The Respiratory System
- The Liver
- The Gastro-Intestinal Tract
- The Endocrine System
- The Renal System
- The Brain
- The Reproductive System
- The Musculo-Skeletal System
- The Skin
This module will integrate horizontally and vertically with the skills and knowledge gained from both the primarily basic medical science and predominantly clinical modules, enabling students to synthesise and incorporate learning experiences from multiple domains.

Category A (70% - 100%):
An excellent student should have a thorough factual knowledge across all aspects of the module, and be able to detail examples where appropriate, supported by additional reading and knowledge drawn from other modules. For the higher 'A' marks, significant evidence of critical analysis and wider reading is essential.
