EP112 - Decoding IBD_Mastering Colonoscopy Findings

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.

This episode presents a clinical case study focusing on the colonoscopy findings in a 24-year-old man experiencing chronic diarrhea, a condition that has persisted for six months and includes bloody stools. The core purpose is to assess a candidate's ability to interpret colonoscopy illustrations and advise on the likely disease and treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, specifically distinguishing between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The case emphasises understanding the pathological differences and appropriate medical and surgical interventions, highlighting the importance of detailed analysis of the patient's symptoms and endoscopic images to reach an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
