Please go through one student's entire answer paper from this link, the one who is closest to your own roll number :

ANSWER:
The referred blog :

https://uakanksha.blogspot.com/2021/07/135-uakanksha.html?m=1


The explanation was good, but the certain points could have been highlighted. If a summary of patients details were given it would have been much easier to understand.

  • The relevant medical history of the patient has been shared in a comprehensive and systematic manner. The problem list was well mentioned.
  • The case sheet has captured all the relevant data in the right order.
  •  Correct terminology was used. 
  • The reports of all the lab investigations conducted were deidentified and shared.
Q2) Share the link to your own case report of a patient that you connected with and engaged while capturing his her sequential life events before and after the illness and clinical and investigational images along with your discussion of that case. 

ANSWER
 The link to my blog link:
The above link : A  35yr Old female with shrunken kidney ,renal calculi .
Q3) (Testing peer review competency of the examinees) :

Please go through the cases in the links shared above and provide your critical appraisal of the captured data in terms of completeness, correctness and ability to provide useful leads to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties around the cases shared.

ANSWER:

👉Patient with coma and renal failure  :https://pallavi191.blogspot.com/2021/06/gm-cases_30.html?m=1

The case has been presented very clearly . The history taking and examination has been done precisely , providing all required information for the reader to understand the case . All the associated clinical pictures have also been provided. The data provided is correct and complete.



The data provided is correct . But lack the discharge summary.
  The case has been presented very clearly and to the point . All the data pertaining to the case has been provided . History taking and all the other investigations carried out have been done and presented meticulously .

👉AKI :

The case has been presented very clearly . The history taking and examination has been done precisely , providing all required information for the reader to understand the case . All the associated clinical pictures have also been provided. The data provided is correct and complete.

👉CKD :

The document is very well listed but should have been more enhanced. Indication for drug use and dosage have been included.

👉Patient with coma and renal failure  :

The symptomatology in the given patient is very well listed . The answers are written in very understandable format.  

👉Patients with acute on CKD :

The case was very well presented and explained however a flowchart would be more helpful. The important points were highlighted. Over all the presentation was very neat and understandable. 

👉Patients with acute on CKD :

Information about the drug and numerous interventions have been provided. 
The presentation is neat .


The evolution of symptomatology is described beautifully and  it  is very easy to comprehend .
Each intervention described for the particular patient has been given in a simple and legible manner.

👉Patients with AKI :


The entire document is very well-formatted, the organization of the data makes it very easy to look through. 
Symptomatology has been given in chronological order.

👉Patients with AKI :
The symptomatology is in chronological order and well listed, the anatomical representation is done with the help of diagrams that make it easier to understand.


the document is well listed but could have been enhanced with the help of diagrams. the content of the document is explained well in a language that is easy to understand. the readability of the document could have been increased 

Q4: Testing scholarship competency of the examinees
Please analyze the above linked patient data by first preparing a problem list for each patient (based on the shared data) and then discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty around solving those problems. Also include the review of literature around sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic interventions mentioned and same around efficacy of the therapeutic interventions mentioned for each patient.

Q 5) Testing scholarship competency in  Reflective logging


ANSWER:

Reflective logging  of one's own experiences is a vital tool toward competency development in medical education and research. Reflective logging enable the student to stay up to date and keep a track of their progress . They enable one to apply their theoretical knowledge into practical application. In the times of COVID when we are unable to physically attend clinical posting and acquiring practical knowledge , logs enable us to keeping a track of the patient assigned and practice important skills like history taking .
This helped me to understand the topic of "patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with diagnosis and treatment plan.
Reflective logging give us an opportunity to know the patient and study the case, inspite of us not being in the hospital.
