Patients often go to their family doctor with seemingly simple or common symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms are benign and lead to a relatively benign diagnosis but in some cases they could be indicative of a more serious or rare diagnosis. How do you sort the horses from the zebras during a busy day in the clinic?
At the end of the program participants will have an enhanced understanding of how to assess common medical symptoms that may lead to a complicated and/or rare diagnosis.
We will be using PollEverywhere so please make sure to bring your smartphones, tablets and/or laptops so you can participate in the program.
