Every quarter in ALH142 - Fundamentals of Disease Processes the students develop several health information handouts. We select topics that cover a wide range of diseases and with time will expand to be quite extensive. The criteria for the students is to develop a patient friendly handout to include the necessary information a patient would want to know, maintain an easy to read format and still keep the length to two pages (single page front and back) so that these handouts could be useful to the average practitioner. For most students the trick to this assignment is to weed through lots of information to select the most important concepts an average person would want to know.
The information contained in these handouts has been developed by students at Sinclair Community College as part of a ongoing group assignment for ALH142 "Fundamentals of Disease Processes" and are not intended for personal use without reviewing the associated information of accuracy.
The patient information handout assignment is an ongoing project that began Spring 2009. Each quarter topics are assigned by the instructor and students work in small groups, usually 3 to 5 students to complete the project...
