EP028 - Medical Case Summary Example

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website.

In this episode, we tackle the challenge of summarising a complex patient history with multiple comorbidities, using the case of Patient, who presents with increasing abdominal discomfort alongside rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, MI, and hypertension. Learn to identify key clinical clues buried in a detailed history. We explain what examiners assess: your ability to perform a problem-based summary, linking relevant past issues to the current presentation, and planning appropriate investigations and next steps. Avoid common pitfalls by structuring your response effectively.
