In collaboration with individuals, families, communities and the health care team, graduates help prevent, diagnose, and manage health problems.
Graduates develop problem lists, formulate differential diagnoses, establish outcome goals and generate treatment plans. Graduates select and
carry out additional investigations, choose and implement interventions with consultation and referral as needed. Graduates monitor clinical
progress and adjust therapy and diagnosis accordingly.
