Post graduate students during OPD hours, sometimes find it difficult to reach the provisional diagnosis
Innovation- To achieve this goal, the use of ‘One Minute Preceptor’ was adapted which provides a different approach compared to the traditional teaching
The use of “One Minute Preceptor’ in Surgery residents in ambulatory setup of Surgery OPD has positively contributed in achieving objectives of developing thought process to reach provisional diagnosis by utilizing history and clinical examination
Summary
Post graduate students during OPD hours, sometimes find it difficult to reach the provisional diagnosis. Ideal approach- Residents should take careful history, do thorough clinical examination and develop a thought process to utilize these findings to come to a provisional diagnosis. The art of history taking and thorough clinical examination is a day dying This becomes apparent in fast ambulatory situations like surgery OPD. Post graduate students face rush of patients during OPD hours and at times find it difficult to reach the provisional diagnosis. Later it becomes a habit to rely upon the investigations instead of developing a thought process Another commonly observed situation where the residents bring the patient to teacher with problem- the patient is taken over by the teacher and readymade answer is provided.
