Briefing by Clinician

During this time, you will convene with the clinician to conduct the simulation session. For each patient seen:

  • Two students will take the role of JMO and see the patient in order to gather a history, perform a brief examination and review available data to assess the current status of the patient.
  • The rest of the class and the clinician will be observing from outside the room.
  • A debrief with all parties present follows. History-taking techniques and examination skills will be discussed and feedback given.
  • A management plan will be presented by the selected students
