Course/Module description:
First clerkship in internal medicine: integration of theoretical and practical knowledge learned in the foundation sciences with clinical skills appropriate to general internal medicine, including history taking, physical examination and use of diagnostic procedures to establish a differential diagnosis and a plan of investigation and therapy.

Course/Module aims:
The development by the student of the ability
• to accurately record and present to colleagues the history and physical examination of the patient, an assessment of her/his problems and a differential diagnosis
• to formulate a plausible diagnostic and treatment plan
• to maintain patient confidentiality and dignity while conducting necessary communication with the patient, her/his family and professional colleagues concerned with her/his care.

After successful completion of the clerkship, the student will be able to
1. Describe common clinical problems using professional terminology from the foundation and clinical sciences.
2. Collect information (medical history) that will advance decision-making about the patient’s problem.
3. Perform a complete physical examination on each patient or (in selected patients) a focused physical examination to evaluate a possible/suspected diagnosis.
4. Select laboratory tests and other investigations that will advance the diagnosis and the interpretation of common pathological findings.
5. Explain the clinical reasoning process, including differential diagnosis, in a logical and reasonable order, using acceptable medical language.
6. Prepare proper documentation of medical history and examination, follow-up and discharge letter, including familiarity with and use of electronic medical records
7. Identify an urgent clinical problem and detail the clinical reasoning process that leads to a decision about the most appropriate initial treatment, and the probable cause of the problem.
