Abstract
Results 82% of students performed the initial management of acute coronary syndrome correctly. However, only 68% of them hit the proper management of diabetes in the same patient, 18% of students opted for the maintenance of oral antidiabetic during hospitalization. In another patient assessed with COPD only 23% of students indicated insulin properly, another 43% recommended the sole use of regular insulin in sliding scale for diabetes management and about 36% did not initiate any form of treatment. Hyperglycemia in patients not known to have diabetes is less likely to be recognized.
