Scenario number | Scenario Theme | Location Setting | Learning Objectives |
|---|---|---|---|
Haematology scenario 1 | Vitamin B12 deficiency | Outpatient clinic | • Identify blood cells morphology in megaloblastic anaemia using peripheral blood films. • Correlate red blood cells morphology with other clinical features and laboratory findings. • Discuss the differential diagnosis of macrocytic anaemia. • Develop effective communication skills. Develop patient’s history taking skills. |
Haematology scenario 2 | Secondary anaemia | Outpatient clinic | • Diagnostic approach to a patient with anaemia • Classification of different types of anaemia • Discuss management of secondary anaemia in general terms • Improve the communication skills & establish a trust in a patient-physician relation. • Ensure that the patients receive full information in an understandable way about the diagnosis and plan. |
Haematology scenario 3 | Thrombocytopenia | Outpatient clinic | • Diagnostic approach to a patient with thrombocytopenia and that Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a diagnosis of exclusion. • Classification of different causes of thrombocytopenia • Discuss management of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) in general terms • Improve the communication skills & establish a trust in a patient-physician relation. • Ensure that the patients receive full information in an understandable way about the diagnostic workup, diagnosis and plan. |
Haematology scenario 4 | Thrombophilia | Emergency | • Evaluate short case studies using the medical history and laboratory results to determine the likely diagnoses. • Interpret clinical and laboratory data as it relates to common bleeding disorders. • Discuss the possible interventions for the case management. • Develop effective communication skills & develop patient’s history taking skills. |
Haematology scenario 5 | Haemophilia | Delivery suite | • Evaluate short case studies using the medical history and laboratory results to determine the likely diagnoses. • Interpret clinical and laboratory data as it relates to common bleeding disorders. • Discuss the possible interventions for the case management. • Develop effective communication skills & develop patient’s history taking skills. |
Haematology scenario 6 | Sideroblastic in progress | Outpatient clinic | • Diagnostic approach to a patient with anaemia. • Discuss the differential diagnosis of anaemia. • Discuss management of anaemia in general terms • Improve the communication skills & establish a trust in a patient-physician relation. • Improve patient’s history taking skills. |
