2. Background • This slide includes: • An introduction of the patient from his/her background story up to the reason for the visit (possibly including a history of present illness). Begin a problem list on the whiteboard.

3. Past Medical History Continue the problem list (including current medications).

4. Family History Continue the problem list (if needed).

5. Social History Continue the problem list (if needed). What would you want to learn from the physical exam?

6. Physical Exam • Review of Systems • Physical findings Continue the problem list as needed. STOP and discuss before advancing to the next slide.

7. Tasks • This slide might include: • Can you form hypotheses regarding pathogenesis based on the problem list? List them on whiteboard. • Consider VITAMIN ABCDE. • What other information would you like to have about the patient to confirm or disconfirm hypotheses? • How could you get the information you need? Discuss the above tasks before proceeding to the next slide.

8. Additional Information • This slide might include: • Information from questions asked of the patient • Lab values • Exhibits Revise the problem list as needed. Prioritize hypotheses based on new information.

9. Exhibit 1 • This slides will include: • Exhibits that are embedded within the case (rather than hyperlinked at the end of the case).

10. Tasks • This slide might include: • Pharmacology • Possible treatment choices • Additional information needed about this patient • Diagrams Discuss the above tasks before proceeding to next slide.

13. Student Presents Patient • Subjective • Patient Demographics • PMH • FH • SH • ROS • Objective • PE • Labs

14. Student Presents Patient • Assessment • Primary problem • Possible etiologies • Relation among problems • Rationale for interventions and diagnostic tests • Plan • Current medications • Management steps

15. Learning Issues Discuss the learning issues and apply them to the case.

16. Diagnosis • This slide includes: • A diagnosis given to the patient and the patient’s reaction/questions. • Tasks that should prompt the students to answer any patient questions and to justify the diagnosis given by providing the confirming evidence for the diagnosis or the disconfirming evidence for competing diagnoses. STOP and discuss before advancing slide.

17. Treatment Depending on the case, this may take the form of a description of treatment undertaken or a description of treatment options presented to the patient. This may take multiple slides and include patient questions about treatment. STOP and discuss before advancing slide.

18. Tasks Tasks at this point should include the impact of treatment - medically, psychologically and socially. • Such as: • Describe the effect of treatment(s) on problems. • Describe other effects (possibly unintended) of treatment. • Compare cost associated with treatment options. • Discuss adherence issues for treatment regimen or recovery time if treatment is surgical.

24. Patient Follow-Up • This slide includes: • Follow-up visit including unresolved problems • Follow-up lab values where appropriate Stop and discuss before advancing slide.

25. Synthesizing Tasks • This slide may include: • Learning activities, e.g., quizzes, concept maps, etc • Are there tasks such as diagrams etc that would help students synthesize the information in this case? • Also consider alternate ending scenarios of how might this outcome be different : • if the patient were older or younger? • had chosen a different treatment option • had a concurrent diagnosis of . . ., etc.

26. Theme Issues / Tasks • This slide may include: • Tasks focused on issues about health care delivery, preventive health, or professionalism that students should consider in reflecting on the case.
