Over the course of the quarter, I will post the web-link for student case discussions on a series of four cases, in addition to the example case listed below. The case discussions utilize a newly developed teaching platform for clinical courses in the Health Science Schools, called "Virtual Case". The platform allows you to review the details on an assigned case, post-comments to the group, and review group comments. This format is ideal for the problem-based learning model that is now widely used in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work and other health care professions.   Basic Instructions:  

Whenever I notify you to start each case, I will have that case posted below in hypertext you then merely click on to access the new case.  

1.     You will first be given a login screen, which asks you for your UW login ID just for your e-mail account.  

2.     You will then see the "Virtual Case" home page, which provides the "Scenario Description" which is the basis for the group discussion.

 3.     Although there are several case discussion and reference tools available in the "Virtual Case" platform, in this course we are really only using the "Group Discussion" tool until we all get comfortable with the format.   

 

4.     Your basic task is to work with the other students assigned to this case to develop both an assessment and plan of care based on both the original information and information you and your fellow students develop on various issues and concerns that are embedded in the case scenario description.
