Step 2: Meet Your Virtual Patient

As soon as Dr. Mehta and Dr. Dan begin the Full Code case, you’ll be responsible for a real-life Emergency Department patient. (Well, okay — not exactly  real-life.) The clock is ticking… will you be able to diagnose and treat the patient before it’s too late?

Step 3: Begin the Workup

With input from the audience, Dr. Mehta and Dr. Dan will:
 
  • Stabilize the Patient — Can you identify and address the immediate threats to the patient’s life?
  • Conduct a Physical Exam & Medical History — Can you start to narrow down the cause of the patient’s condition?
  • Order Diagnostic Tests — What tests are needed to confirm or rule out your suspected diagnoses?
  • Formulate a Diagnosis — Can you identify the patient’s condition?
  • Intervene and Treat the Patient — What medications and procedures are needed to treat the patient?
  • Monitor, Admit, or Discharge the Patient — Does the patient need to be handed off to a different department, prepped for the OR, or can they be discharged safely?
