Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation

Video Assignment for this week’s presenters:

• Record yourself presenting the complex case study for your clinical patient. In your presentation:

• Dress professionally with a lab coat and present yourself in a professional manner.
• Display your photo ID at the start of the video when you introduce yourself.
• Ensure that you do not include any information that violates the principles of HIPAA (i.e., don’t use the patient’s name or any other identifying information).
• State your objectives for the presentation. They should be worded in terms of what you want your audience to know or be able to do after participating in your grand rounds discussion.
• Present the full complex case study. Include the history of present illness, appropriate positive and negative physical exam findings, past medical and surgical history, diagnostic results, diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out, and treatment plan.
• Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
• Pose three questions or discussion prompts, based on your presentation, that your colleagues can respond to after viewing your video.
• Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes.

Week 8 Presenters:

By Day 3

Post your video and your focused SOAP note to the grand rounds discussion forum. Then, actively respond to your colleagues as they post responses to your video.

Week 8 Participants:

By Day 7

Respond at least two times each to both of your colleagues who presented this week. The goal is for the discussion forum to function as robust clinical conferences on the patients. Provide a response to one of the three discussion prompts that your colleague provided in his or her video presentation. You may also provide additional information, alternative points of view, research to support treatment, or patient education strategies you might use with the relevant patient.
