This Problem Based Learning (PBL) course facilitates learning through small group discussion and analysis of real-life clinical scenarios related to the developmental stage of adulthood. Students engage in communication, collaboration, and clinical reasoning during the process of understanding the relationship between the person, environment, and occupations. Cases typically encompass not only a given diagnosis, but the impact of biological processes, environment and lifestyle on the individual, the community and society. Students engage in concept mapping activities to explore the complexity of the cases and are required to support clinical decisions with available evidence. Students are exposed to electronic documentation to prepare for clinical practice. Offered fall trimester only.
