3P APEA Cohort Assignment
Objectives: Upon completion of this exam, the students will demonstrate clinical and diagnostic reasoning.
Instructions:
Based on the APEA 3P predictor test, the cohort assignment will focus on Urology (cohort score 48%), Orthopedics (cohort score 54%), and Dermatology (cohort score 62%). The rest of the test areas achieved score at or above the national average.
Instructions: This assignment is completed individually. Each item/case will weight 10 pts. Answer the questions below by providing a succinct but informative answer, 1-2 sentences per question in the case/item; some items may require a single word or naming a condition, others more explanation. Most but not all of the answers can be found in Visual Diagnosis and your textbooks. For other answers, you will need to use professional sites, guidelines, or peer reviewed references. Consider the most common and obvious answer. For each question, you must give the parenthetical reference/s (below the question) and full reference in the reference page; citied authors must appear in both). Any answer without a reference will be given no more than 50% credit if the answer is correct. If you use the same reference for more than one answer, please give the page number. You can write the paper as a narrative but keep APA formatting for the references.
