This document provides guidelines for a student assignment on investigating and reporting on a health condition. Students must select a disease process to research, gaining approval from faculty. They will then write a 2-3 page paper covering: an introduction to the disease and its epidemiology; etiology and risk factors; pathophysiological processes; clinical manifestations and complications; diagnostics used; and interviewing someone living with the condition. The paper will be graded based on inclusion of required criteria in each section, as well as APA style and organization. Completing the assignment will help students meet several course outcomes related to explaining disease processes and their clinical implications.
