For this question please list the four (4) diagnostics you requested after your patient-centered OSCE (along with your interpretation) and provide a statement for each on how it supports or refutes your final top differential diagnoses. BE SPECIFIC and note that simply writing the result of your diagnostic test is not considered interpretation. Please do not include Chest X-ray as a requested diagnostic, as this was provided to you.  If ordering less than four (4) diagnostics, please provide justification as to why in your write-up.  Consider that diagnostics must be those routinely ordered for the initial management (first-line) of your suspected differential. If ordering uncommon, second / third-line, or otherwise atypical diagnostics, you must provide rationale as to why. Note: The provided diagnostics below must match those requested in-person from the in-person faculty member.   1.  2. 3. 4.

In the space below, please document a comprehensive history and physical exam for the patient you just interviewed.  Please be sure to include all  elements of the comprehensive history and physical exam findings that you obtained. However, remember, you may only include those items from the history and physical exam which you asked or obtained. Do not include any assessment or plan in this section.  For reference, the previously provided chest x-ray is visible below for your review (as needed).

Based upon the patient’s history and physical exam, what are your top 5 differential diagnoses? Part 1: Please list in order, with #1 being your most likely diagnosis at this time, based upon what you discovered from the patient’s history and PE.  Part 2: Justify the pros and cons for your top 5 differential diagnoses. You may use the results of your diagnostics to help justify (rule in or rule out) your differential. Please remember that you must provide both pros and cons for each and every differential. Note that you may use the chest x-ray findings as a “pro” or “con” for your differential, as you see necessary.    Differential Diagnoses  Pros Cons 1.  2.  3. 4. 5.
