PBL on MD Responsibility - Scenarios

PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING ON PHYSICIAN RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility 1: Managing a Patient with a Health Problem

Scenario:

You are the physician assigned to man a medical clinic. One day, a 10-year-old boy is brought to the clinic by his mother. The mother tells you her child just has a bad fall while biking. You see the boy crying in pain with a swollen deformed right forearm.

Responsibility 2: Presenting in a Medical Conference

Scenario:

You are a physician practicing in a community. One day, the medical society in your community invites you to present and discuss a patient of yours who has a very unusual disease. You are

asked to share your experience so that the other physicians will learn. You are alloted one hour for your presentation. You have two weeks to prepare for the presentation.

Responsibility 3: Managing a Rural Health Unit

Scenario:

You have been recently appointed the municipal health officer of Community X. One of your tasks is to manage the rural health unit (RHU) in your community. Presently working in the

unit are a nurse, a midwife, and a sanitary inspector.

Responsibility 4: Solving the Health Problems of a Community

Scenario:

You have been recently appointed the municipal health officer of Community X. Your goal is to solve the health problems of the community. You have a rural health unit as your headquarter. You have a nurse, a midwife, and a sanitary inspector under your supervision. You have your community (local government as well as nongovernmental organizations) as your resource.

Responsibility 5: Conducting a Health Research

Scenario:

You are the municipal health officer of Community X. You want to solve the health problems of your community. You thought of using multisectoral cooperation and public health education as

the main strategy. At the same time that you are going to use this strategy to solve the health problems of your community, you decide that it is worthwhile to conduct a research on this. You

want to test whether a combined multisectoral cooperation and public health education is an effective and efficient way of solving the health problems of your community. In short, you are

going to do an interventional community health research.
