What am I supposed to be doing tomorrow? Planning case investigations like a specialist (10% discount for booking online)

This course will use clinical histories and physical examination findings from recently referred cases to develop case plans. These case plans can then be used alongside those plans that were actually used, to see how the cases progressed and the diagnosis was reached.

The plan with this is to make sure the emphasis in medical cases is the key ‘work’ is at the start which makes the case progression and the diagnosis far more robust and inevitably more rewarding.

This course will also illustrate that case planning can be fluid and there is more than one way to reach the diagnosis (again this is designed to suit all budgets!).

Course Description

These courses will further help those post-grads with a keen interest in small animal medicine to refine those key skills used by specialists in small animal internal medicine and develop their problem-based approach to challenging cases in primary care practice. Medicine benefits from a systemic and thorough approach and these courses are designed to demonstrate the fundamental aspects that underpin this approach. As before, the main objective is to make medicine more rewarding in primary care practice and to help delegates feel more empowered in the clinic they are in.

Topics to be covered.

§  Problem-based medicine and the approach to complex medical cases

§  Selecting the correct diagnostic test and asking the correct clinical question of that test

§  Generating a minimum database to investigate complex medical cases.

§  Case-based practical sessions using real recently referred cases which have clearly posed challenges in primary care practice.
