Locate a current, primary care clinical practice guideline for a specific condition. Clinical Practice Guideline Assignment
Guidelines with Scoring Rubric
Purpose
Clinical guidelines provide recommendations on the diagnosis
and management of certain conditions.
Recommendations are based on evidence from a rigorous systematic review
and synthesis of the drafted medical literature. Interpreting and learning to
apply guidelines into practice is necessary to develop and enhance diagnostic
reasoning skills.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the
ability to:
1) Locate a
current, primary care clinical practice guideline for a specific condition. (CO
3)
2) Read and
interpret the guidelines for use in practice. (CO 3)
3) Evaluate
the recommendations and apply to patients in the clinical setting as
appropriate. (CO 3)
Due Date:
Students will RANDOMLY be assigned a topic by your
instructor in Week 1. Students will post
a brief PowerPoint summary presentation by Wednesday 11:59 p.m. MT of Week
7. This will allow others to view their
peers presentations in order to provide peer evaluations before Sunday. Presentations submitted after Wednesday 11:59
p.m. MT of Week 7 will receive an automatic 0.
