This course expands on knowledge obtained in Diagnosis, Symptom, Illness I and continues to provide a foundation for the student to think critically about symptoms, differential diagnoses, diagnostic evaluation, and the management of common episodic and chronic health conditions throughout the adult lifespan including young adults, adults and older adults. The course emphasizes evidence based practice, health promotion and disease prevention as well as illness care that is based on age, gender, culture, ethnicity, and psycho-social issues.
