The intent of this course is for students to enhance their abilities to think logically, use clinical evidence and research findings in making clinical decisions. Concepts and principles from the biopsychosocial sciences, clinical epidemiology, informatics and ethics will be used in developing ways for defining problems; managing the health care of individuals, groups, and populations; and measuring and monitoring the outcomes of care. Strategies for organizing, managing, and using clinical data in decision making will be addressed.
