Medical training for the dental student. (www.nyc.gov)

This course, year two of a three year medical course, provides the dental student with a more in-depth understanding of the pathology of the bodily systems with special emphasis on the oral cavity in lectures given by specialists.

Medicine II is the second in a series of three courses that provides medical instruction for the dental student.

This course teaches the student to evaluate systemic health problems and appropriately apply the knowledge in a future clinical setting.   Topics covered are Hepatitis/Cirrhosis, HIV/AIDS, Pulmonary, Hematology, Coagulation, Otolaryngology, Pregnancy, LFT's, Hepatic Serology, Medical Emergencies, Endocrinology, Immunology, Oncology, Cardiology, Transplants, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, Renal, and Hypertension.

The practicum provides the student with supervised practical application of previously studied theory. This allows the student to assess the level of compromise in the history and physical examination of a medically compromised patient.  The student can then modify the dental care appropriately.
