Q2: Testing scholarship competency of the examinees ( ability to read comprehend, analyze, reflect upon and discuss captured patient centered data):
Please analyze the above linked long and short cases patient data by first preparing a problem list for each patient in order of perceived priority (based on the shared data) and then discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty around solving those problems.

Share the link to your own case report this month of a patient that you connected with and engaged while capturing his her sequential life events before and after the illness and clinical and investigational images along with your discussion of that case.
In this October month we are not posted to general medicine department clinical postings . Soon I'll provide the case report Link attending the postings ..

logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month
Im actually thankful to this method of learning since it's bringing lot of understanding and interpretation.The checking of the cases in the hospital, enquiring and making this log brings a proper understanding of the case and helps us think about the the clinical condition of the patient.I hope this will really be very helpful in our clinical practice and learning.
THANK YOU
