Learning unit contents

This teaching follow PBL seminars of Baccalaureate formation. It aims to develop knowledge integration and clinical / diagnostic reasoning throughout clinical cases. 
 

 
Specific content:
Clinical teaching on digestive pathologies. In these teaching sessions, complementary to the theoretical ex cathedra course (PATH-3019), disease are seen through their clinical presentation.
Starting from this clinical presentation, the student, through his/her reasoning, will establish a differntial diagnosis and diagnostic hypotheses. Complementary explorations are proposed to end up with the final diagnosis. Therapeutic approach is briefly discussed.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The seminars of diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning I to IV are developed from Baccalaureate (year 3) to Master (Year 2).
At the end of this teaching, student would be able to analyze a different new clinical case about the same topics:

  • To list the possible diagnoses and to classify them according to their probability
  • To discuss about each diagnoses (supporting or rejecting elements)
  • To comment further examination
  • To comment treatment

Specific objective:
Establish a list of diferential diagnoses and exploration plan based on various classical digestive symptoms.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Co and pre-requisites are detailed in the general Master Medical formation (global course program).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

This Teaching is multidisciplinary and complete theoretical learning with seminars of clinical and therapeutic reasoning.

It involves PBL seminars (clinical reasoning learning) in small groups and clinical teaching (Interactive teachning in a class room using clinical vignettes) or in bigger class rooms.
