Fri 12:30-1:20PM MED 200 Primary Care Presentations This lunch seminar involves patient case presentations in internal medicine and various subspecialties. During each session, course director Dr. Wendy Caceres presents case information (eg, history, physical exam, labs, imaging, other diagnostic data, etc) to a faculty discussant who has not seen the case before the session. Faculty discussants work through case information for the first time during each session, allowing students to benefit from the unrehearsed clinical reasoning of those clinicians. Dr. Caceres will prompt the discussants to interpret diagnostic info, put together a differential diagnosis, consider treatment options, and discuss other thoughts about the case. This course allows students to hone their diagnostic skills and learn clinical pearls that will help during rotations. Alway M106 Sarah Waliany
