Trefnydd: Mr Merf Williams

This module addresses some of the key theoretical knowledge requirements as set out in the competence and curriculum framework for the Physician Associate.

The module will provide teaching and directed, but student-led, discussion on fundamental aspects of epidemiology, research methodology, critical analysis of research literature and public health. Key aspects of this module therefore include disease prevention, social causes and consequences of health status and the study of the determinants of health-related states or events (including disease). This module will facilitate the development of skills to critique relevant literature and to understand the pathways by which medical research is translated into the clinical environment.

Topics included in this module are aligned with the curriculum of the Physician Associate PA programme. Key subjects covered include a history of public health and epidemiology, leading to current methodologies, and analysis of the evidence-base in health related research.

The module will cover types of research methods and the use and application of common statistical techniques.

Students will have the opportunity to explore genetic, environmental and social causes of illness, and to consider how these relate to principles of promoting health and preventing disease.
