How to Present a Patient Case: The Signpost Method

Рет қаралды 307,156

Күн бұрын

This video from the University of Calgary teaches you the Signpost Method of case presentation. This is a simple way for junior clinical learners to present patient cases to their supervisor, while both ensuring their preceptors understand the extent of their clinical thinking AND being able to adapt on the fly to different preceptor preferences of style.

Presentation of cases gave me most difficulty as an IMG during my clinical assessment. The preceptors had different styles as well. So, this video sure helps.

@dkcalgary 7 жыл бұрын

Hi, as it happens, I wrote a paper with a colleague on how to present posters. Specifically, it was a study on how what you wear (i.e your clothes) affects how many people visit your poster. Here's the link. www.cmaj.ca/content/169/12/1291.full.pdf+html In general, give visitors to your poster small chunks of info, starting with the key nugget from your poster. Just like presenting a case, let your visitors tell you where they want to go in exploring the case, and provide that info, occasionally giving them a heads-up on other info they might want to learn about.

Hi, as a family medicine teacher, I may not be the best to answer. I suggest using this method, though, as it really enables the preceptor and learner to jointly manage the flow. But there may be specific things a pharmacy instructor might be looking for which I simply don't know. Just ask! :)

Hi, well it's been canceled (plus I'm late). Get a bunch of friends from different fields to brainstorm possible stations and coach each other, always always always read aloud your findings on examination stations (people often forget), if an examiner interrupts you it's because you have made a major mistake (shake your head, step back, read the station aloud slowly and you should realize/see the mistake), and have fun - like really! The mcc actors are amazing - have fun!!

@dkcalgary 2 жыл бұрын

The foundational piece of this is part of good old fashioned clinical discussion, common to so many different pneumonics for case presentation. The key difference is the Signposting. The number one complaint about preceptors is "Everyone wants to hear case presentations differently." This approach sets up a buffet for the preceptor to pick from - that's what's unique. You lay out the options, making sure the preceptor knows you have some analysis and a proposed action plan, and then let them choose Door #1, or Door #2, etc. It turns case presentations into a FLUID conversation while at the same time cuing your preceptor that you've thought ahead.
