Summary

This on-demand teaching session, titled "PAFinals Revision Session", is curated by medical students and covers a series of major medical specialties including cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, stroke, haematology, renal, endocrine, paediatrics, and more. The session will feature an interactive and engaging approach by presenting medical case studies and asking questions about possible diagnoses and management options which will turn out to be optimal revision content for medical school finals. It provides a rare, practical opportunity not only to build and test knowledge but also proven engagement that could boost CVs. The dermatology section involves real-life scenarios of children presenting with hip problems, developmental milestones, primary amenorrhea, itching in the bottom, and requires vaccination. All these are reviewed in detail with possible diagnoses and treatments. Professionals attending would be requested to respect some house rules such as maintaining mute during the session, asking questions in chat, and maintaining respect for everyone. Medical professionals preparing for finals would definitely benefit from this session.

Learning objectives

  1. By the end of the teaching session, participants will be able to identify and describe the pathophysiology and presentation of various medical conditions including cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, and haematology related conditions, among others.

  2. Participants will be equipped to make diagnostic decisions based on patient case studies, recognizing the signs, symptoms and risk factors associated with the presented medical conditions.

  3. Participants will understand and be able to discuss appropriate management and treatment options for a range of medical conditions in the specialities covered, utilizing current, evidence-based practices.

  4. Participants will learn to interpret symptoms and diseases prevalent in paediatrics, enabling them to make informed diagnoses and treatment plans in a paediatric setting.

  5. The session aims to enhance participants' familiarity with medical conditions across various specialities thereby improving differential diagnosing abilities and overall patient care.
