Program Description: 

Students and residents who do not have robust “illness scripts” often have difficulty synthesizing a case. Creating comprehensive, concise and prioritized differentials can be difficult. This conference stimulates in depth thought and discussion with faculty regarding the clinical approach to common and uncommon presenting symptoms. Whether the case is straight forward or a “zebra”, faculty, residents and students alike think through and discuss the case and differential diagnosis and apply the process of arriving at the diagnosis as the patient’s case evolves.
