I. Target Audience: Medical Students, Residents<br />
II.<br />
Learning and Assessment Objectives<br />
Participants are expected to understand the scientific and humanistic issues underlying the disease<br />
assessment and treatment plan, and to critically consider and deploy the therapeutic options described<br />
Participants should provide a concise presentation of the patient to each physician consultant who<br />
participates in the exercise. Debriefing sessions by on-site clinical faculty is essential to discuss critical<br />
thinking and knowledge pathways, and to provide a forum for individual and team reflection on learning<br />
and practice goals. While the case descriptions are written with medical terminology, it is important that<br />
the provider and patient (i.e. the simulator) engage in authentic dialogue with lay terminology to reflect<br />
an actual patient encounter<br />
