Clinical Simulation Feb. 20 J 2024
Clinical Simulation Feb. 20 J 2024
General Instructions
• The case will be given by 1000H, Feb. 20, 2024 to simulate a clinical encounter.
Students need to work as a team and produce the required output.
• Students must proceed to their room assignments by 10:00H, and must log into
the Zoom breakout rooms.
• Two leaders were randomly chosen to facilitate the group discussion and will serve
as the rapporteurs for the plenary session.
• Leaders may delegate different tasks to other members of the group.
• The faculty preceptor will release additional clinical information in the chatbox
during the breakout session, which will simulate release of lab results. Leaders
must take note of this.
• Complete uniform and with ID.
• After the group discussion, all students will proceed to Rm 1107 for a plenary
session by 11:15H.
• The group output for the case-based discussion (power point presentation) must
be submitted through Neo LMS on or before 17:00H.
• Strictly no audio/video recording during SGL’s.
Team Reflection
After the team reflection, the groups will meet for a plenary discussion, wherein
1 to 2 reporters will be randomly chosen by the faculty facilitator from the
representative groups, and will be tasked to present for 5 to 10 minutes. No
more than 10 slides must be shown during the plenary session per group.
Questions may also be asked by the preceptors during this time, but will only
be limited within the scope of the guide questions.
Objectives
At the end of the session, the student must be able to:
1. Integrate knowledge from the basic science and integrate it with
concepts of internal medicine;
2. Enumerate the salient features of a case and come up with differential
diagnoses;
3. Explain the pathophysiologic basis of symptoms and correlate this with
the clinical manifestation;
4. Identify key diagnostic tests and explain its utility in confirming the
diagnosis and subsequent management, and;
5. Create graphical representation of clinical information using concept
maps (mechanism map), Venn diagrams and illness scripts.
Guide questions for group presentation
1. What is the main problem of the patient? Create a problem representation for this.
2. What are the salient features of the case? Enumerate the pertinent positive and
negative subjective and objective findings in order to define your differential diagnosis.
Use a 2x2 table for this.
1. Give the pathophysiologic explanation for the symptoms and PE findings.
Present this as a concept map.
2. What are your differential diagnoses? Give at least 3 valid DDx. Explain why you
considered it using the pathophysiologic mechanism of the signs and symptoms.
Explain why that differential would be the less likely primary impression. Use a Venn
diagram and an illness script for this.
3. What are the diagnostic test/s that is/are needed to confirm your impression at the
time that the patient was seen? Use another concept map to show a systematic
approach to this problem.
4. What are the diagnostic hallmarks/pathognomonic findings? Include this in your illness
script.
5. What is the primary impression and explain your basis for this.
6. Formulate a general treatment plan. What are the current treatment guidelines?
Should there be a need for specialist referral? Please state your reasons.

Instructions for individual report
Part 1: Create a narrative write-up following this format:
1. Problem representation
2. Salient features
3. Differential Diagnosis (at least 3) with rationalization why it was considered and
why it should be discarded
4. Explain the pathophysiologic manifestation of the disease for all three DDx
5. State the final diagnosis. Explain why this is the most plausible.
6. Diagnostic plan. Prioritize and rationalize the laboratory and imaging tests that
needs to confirm diagnosis and how will the results affect your management
7. Therapeutic plan and Preventive strategies (if applicable)
8. Citations/References
After you have endorsed the patient to the ER personnel, the patient’s son verbalized that
he is apprehensive that his mother’s health coverage (HMO: Medicard) may not be
enough to cover for her medical expenses. What are the other health
benefits/subsidies which the government offers? How will you communicate this
to your patient’s family? (maximum 200 words).
