Robin: A Dermatology Case
- Description:
- Robin’s Dermatology Case presents students with a 21-year-old female patient with an eyelid rash, which later turns out to be an occupation-related allergy. The main learning objectives are to explore some issues around skin conditions, their diagnosis and management while also learning about how information systems, such as electronic medical records (EMRs) and personal health records (PHRs), will increasingly influence the way we practice. There is more information about our learning objectives and the project's aims here on the Canadian Health Education Commons (CHEC).The EMR's used in our case include MedAccess and Netcare. This case is broken into three main sections – Robin’s initial visit, which includes the assessment of his symptoms, along with probing questions to determine possible causes and an initial diagnosis; choosing the correct type of follow-up testing; and finally, treatment and recommended lifestyle changes. The learner is encouraged to investigate, explore, ask questions, and make decisions based on realistic clinical encounters with the patient. Very little background about the patient is provided at the start of the case. As the learner moves through the case, the medical facts of the case are revealed. The learner will be required to engage general principles of history taking, consider principles of reflective practice, consider gender and occupation related challenges, and to consider the mental health implications for the care and treatment of a patient with a new allergy. The case has been tuned for the purposes of the AFMC Health Canada Infoway Competition on virtual patients, but is also part of a Resident Research Project at the University of Calgary Department of Family Medicine.
Notes: README on what to do with these files ----------------------------------------------- You have downloaded an OLab zip file. See the second zip file contained within this download. Extract it and save it as a single zip file so this can be imported into an existing OpenLabyrinth v3 or OLab4 server. You do not need to expand this second zip file -- the import process will expand the contents into the correct locations on the OLab server. What are OLab scenarios? An OLab virtual scenario is a case or story, or it might be a wee test to challenge your learners. It might be a simple 3-step set of pages and questions. It might be a complex choose-your-own-adventure style of branching narrative. Why do I need an OLab server? To simply play the original scenario, look at the metadata in the Dataverse that you downloaded this zip from. There will be a link to a playable version - for this, you only need a web browser. (No software download needed.) But if you want to be able to edit the scenario, examine how it was crafted or use it as a template on which to build a new one, you start with this zip file and import it into an OLab server. You will need an account on that OLab server that gives you author privileges. If you do not have an account, contact us using the contact information given in the metadata in the Dataverse. How do I import this scenario into an OLab server? There are more detailed instructions available in the OLab User Guide. Briefly the steps are as follows: 1. Login to your OLab server as usual. 2. Under the Labyrinths or Maps menu, click on Import 3. Tell the server which zip file to import. 4. It should only take a few seconds to import most zip files. More complex scenarios might take a couple of minutes at most. 5. When imported, the scenario should appear in your list of Labyrinths or Maps. - , , et Topps, David
