E-LEARNING MODULE
COMPREHENSIVE
HISTORY TAKING IN SERVICE LEARNING for MBChB IV
Welcome to Blackboard and the
on-line section for history taking in the Service Learning (SL) block.
In the last 3 years you
have been taught the principles of taking a history from a patient as the
introductory steps to the Consultation of a patient. In your 3rd
year you had 3 sessions where you practiced the history taking skills at the
different community clinics you were assigned to.
In your journey as medical
student you have now reached your 4th year of training. Congratulations!
You can be proud of yourself! But there is still a bit of a way to go.
Your SL module in your 4th
year is a capstone module, where you have to apply these principles during
interaction with a real patient in the community during your community visits
for SL.
At the end of this module,
you need to be able to:
- Conduct a consultation with a patient in the community/clinic/private practice following the first steps of the model of a the three-stage assessment and management plan
- Take a comprehensive history from a patient from in a community/clinic/private practice including illness and psycho-social history
- Observe and pick up cues (verbal and non-verbal) during the consultation and respond to them appropriately
You will consult 4
patients in the community under guidance and supervision of your SL
facilitator. The first patient will not be marked as it is your chance to
practice the principle that you were taught. You will be allocated marks for
your 2nd, 3rd and 4th patient. You have to
have a minimum of 50% for each patient to pass the SL block.
These marks will be added
together and the average, together with the marks of the MCQ test that you will
write at end of block, will be your year mark for SL.
As quite a bit of time has
passed since you last learnt of history taking. A video and the a power point
presentation of history taking is posted on this board for you. You need to
revise the steps of history taking in order to be able to perform them
efficiently in the community.
You have 6 weeks to peruse
the material. The contents must be studied in conjunction with your class notes
and prescribed sources on history taking. It is supplementary information to
help you gather the required knowledge to effectively complete the procedure of
history taking.
