This subject builds on students' developed skills in health and physical assessment aiming to develop diagnostic skills as they relate to advanced assessment. Advanced assessment skills are studied in relation to inductive or inferential reasoning, clinical thinking processes and clinical judgment. Students learn how to prescribe and analyse common diagnostic and laboratory tests, related to their area of practice, as well as the results of health and physical assessment.
