Hello...!!!💙💚
Today is a Friday morning...It's almost time to prep for Sabbath! And it is also the time to reflect on what I've been learning in my Immunology class in the past few days. These past few days of mine were challenging but also fun as it was the days of case studies...
This week, our professor gave our whole class a real-life scenario-based study. Our goal was to come up with answers based on our learning of the material that we already covered in our class and also through some research. Our class formed groups and started discussing possible answers such as diagnosing the disease (in the scenario), knocking out some non-possible answers, searching for symptoms, making connections, etc.
I like the way our questions for the case study were set up. For example, the first few questions asked were identifying the patient's symptoms, past medical history, the cell types that are involved in the present medical condition, its functions, possible laboratory tests that can be conducted, family history, conducting further tests, and final diagnoses and possible treatments at the end.
I felt like it was teaching us how to approach step by step when we are faced with a similar life situation. This approach is something that would help a future doctor or a nurse who is preparing to get into that field. Furthermore, not only the medical professionals but as ordinary people who don't work or wish to work in a medical setup will also help if they are faced with a similar situation in family or friends. This will help them understand how the doctors diagnose certain medical conditions and even identifying oneself's condition, and looking for their symptoms, and approaching a doctor.
I believe that these learning strategies are going to help me in the future because one thing that I really liked doing in our case studies was identifying and ruling out some answers that are not going to help us for the final diagnosis. And I will remember this technique if I get exposed to a situation where I need to knock out things that are not important!
Have a Good Day!!!!!!
