Yesterday, we had a meeting in Second Life, the virtual world at the Ann Myers Medical Center. One of our educators did a case presentation by giving us a textfile that contained the anamnesis and all the important physical signs.
It was followed by some brainstorming. We had to discuss what kind of tests we would order and what kind of diagnoses we were thinking about. One of the members of the National Board of Medical Examiners. It was a great experience again.
The solution was Cat Eye Syndrome. More than interesting!
Let us know if you would like to participate in the next exercise either as a medical student or a physician.
