Advanced Clinical Diagnosis is designed to optimize the skill-set of the young clinician in the process of accurate diagnosis. This course will continue the process of clinical thought and decision making relative to the patient presentation and management. Disorders of both physiology and pathology will be presented. Epidemiological, etiological, and pathogenesis will be presented whenever possible. Chiropractic applications to all dysfunction will be explored as well as current medical management considerations will be discussed. Clinical trends in disorder and dysfunction will be presented. While chiropractic continues to grow with emphasis on healthy lifestyles and regular spinal adjustments, there will be ample discussion on the clinical manifestations of dysfunction and dis-ease in the human body. Adaptive physiology and patterns of decline will be addressed. Active engagement of the student is paramount in the success of this course as the ultimate decision making process in diagnosis and subsequent management will hinge on the students’ ability to assimilate the course material into a manageable format.
