Case Study: Dr. T
Patient ID 028
Spinal Stenosis, 3 months Post Surgery: ADLs During Breakfast
Dr. T's videos provide a case with rich learning opportunities, due to the complexity of his condition, the family conference video, and the cultural considerations relevant to Dr. T and his family. There are many learning activities that can be used to achieve diverse learning objectives using Dr. T's case.
The examples provided are merely examples and should not be considered an answer key or the only correct way of completing the activities. For example, learners may write different goals, choose different evidence to support their decisions, choose different models of practice or frames of reference to guide their decisions, and may describe the types of clinical reasoning in different situations. This also allows learners to explain their decisions and further develop their inductive reasoning skills. Faculty may then provide feedback that is relevant for specific learning objectives and consistent with principles of case-based learning.
Medical History
Dr. T’s Medical History can be useful in framing the case and developing an occupational profile.
