Course ID: | LAMS 3000E. 1 hour. |
Course Title: | Foundations of Clinical Medicine I |
Course Description: | This course is designed like Foundations of Clinical Medicine II and Foundations of Clinical Medicine III, neither of which is required to take this course. Students will complete three modules that address biomedical concepts encountered by healthcare professionals. These modules will be presented in a clinical context and will use four learning modalities to address them: reading text, viewing animations and illustrations, watching videos, and answering questions. |
Oasis Title: | Fdn of Clinical Medicine I |
Nontraditional Format: | This course will be taught 95% or more online. |
Prerequisite: | BIOL 1104 or BIOL 1108 or BIOL 2108H |
Semester Course Offered: | Offered fall, spring and summer semester every year. |
Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
|
Course Objectives: | This course provides health science students a unique way to apply information they either have learned in previous courses or are introduced to in this course. Students in this course will complete three modules, each of which focuses on a question they are likely to be asked by their friends or families. These questions will pertain to the way a particular organ system functions or what happens when it fails to do so. By working through each module and answering the subsequent Questions of the Day, students will demonstrate their understanding of the material, practice their critical thinking skills, and be able to relate the concepts to important real-life situations. |

Honor Code Reference: | As an online course, student involvement and participation are
self-paced. Because repetition and reflection are foundational
to this approach, students will be provided 5 questions per
learning module to assist in mastery of the concepts. Some of
these questions will assess the student’s ability to recall
specific information from the module, while others will be
designed to assess the student’s ability to analyze and apply
the information presented. If a student is unable to take the
question of the day, they will be given one opportunity to
make up the question at the end of each module during the
Elective Review Question of the Day. These questions will
also be available for extra credit for students who have not
missed previous Questions of the Day. Students not answering
more than 1 Question of the Day per module will have an
opportunity to answer makeup questions for credit, provided
they provide proof and prior notification of a severe illness,
a death in the immediate family, or other grave circumstances.
If one of the module tests is missed because of the reasons
above, a make-up test will be given. Missed module tests must
be made up by the end of the Reading Day; otherwise, a score of
0 will be given for that exam.
Copying, photographing, or recreating questions asked during
this course in any way will be considered a violation of the
UGA academic honesty policy; students guilty of such actions
will receive an F grade and will be reported to the Vice
President for Instruction for further investigation, action,
and potential discipline for this violation, as outlined by
the UGA online resources found at:
https://honesty.uga.edu/Academic-Honesty-Policy/.
Additionally, all questions and exams must be taken
individually. Students found to be working together on these
assessment items will be considered in violation of the UGA
academic honesty policy and be subject to the same procedures
as discussed above. All Questions of the Day will be
randomized. Consequently, students should not expect to each
see the same question, with the same answer choices on any
given day as their classmates. |
