Practice presenting a patient with undifferentiated chest pain to an attending physician. Focus on organizing your presentation using a structured approach while synthesizing messy chart data.
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.
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.
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.
Optional self-check before you start
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.
