Clinical Case Presentations

Students must post one interesting case that he/she has seen in the clinical setting via
Discussion Board in the online part of this course. The case should be an unusual
diagnosis, or a complex case that required in-depth evaluation on the student’s part. The
case should be posted in the SOAP format, with references for the patient diagnosis,
differential diagnoses (there should be at least 3), and the treatment plan. Notes will be
graded as “pass/fail”.   In order to receive grade points for SOAP notes, the notes must
be approved by the deadlines specified on the course assignments page.  The student
will lose the opportunity for points on any SOAP notes not approved by the specified
deadlines. The posting does not have to be written in APA format, but should be written
with correct spelling and grammar. References should be in APA format. The selected
references should reflect current evidence – dated within the past 5 years.
