Review Clinical Case

1. Learning: Oral Case Presentation

Purpose of this Scenario

This simulation is designed to help you master the art of the oral case presentation, a crucial skill for clinical rotations. You'll practice synthesizing real-world (i.e., messy!) chart data to present a clear, concise, and compelling patient story to your attending.

2. Scenario Briefing

Your Objective

Your goal is to present a concise and well-organized oral presentation of a patient with undifferentiated chest pain to your attending physician, including a prioritized differential diagnosis and initial management plan.

Patient/Character Background

You are a medical student on your internal medicine rotation. You are pre-rounding on a patient admitted overnight for evaluation of chest pain. You have 5 minutes to review the patient's chart and prepare your presentation for morning rounds.

Crucial Information: Focus on synthesizing the available data to determine the most likely etiology of the patient's chest pain and formulate a reasonable plan.

Key Facts

  • Event: Patient presented to the emergency department overnight with chest pain.
  • Current Status: The patient is currently in their hospital bed awaiting evaluation on morning rounds. You need to review the available data and present the case to the attending.

You’ll have limited time to review the EMR, then record your presentation. Focus on what’s clinically relevant — not everything in the chart matters.

Which of the following ECG findings is MOST specific for acute myocardial ischemia in the context of chest pain?

What is the upper reference limit for troponin in your institution, and how does the patient's troponin level compare?

Which of the following historical factors would be MOST concerning for ACS in this patient?
