SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
What is our program?
SCMSA Summer School on Tropical Medicine & Infectious Diseases offers its
participants a professional certified Scientific program that has proved its worth
and efficiency for more than 20 years.
This Program gives them a chance to
attend classes for case discussions, Pre-clinical sessions as well as role play
tutorials to prepare for hands-on examinations, together with lectures covering
proper approach to Tropical Medicine Diseases given by pioneers of Tropical
Medicine All over Egypt.
Program will take place in Suez Canal University Teaching hospital which has many departments like
(Tropical, Chest and Cardio) so that Participants are exposed to as
many different cases & findings as possible.
Multiple Small working groups will
be formed to attend rotations between a hospital for most efficient use of time and place and
the hospital visit will consist of two sessions:
1. Pre-Clinical session & role play:
In this session, the whole group will sit to discuss their previous knowledge about a certain topic.
The
Hospital
coordinator will then give them a short guide about the clinical presentations and required
examination
for that topic.
Then, the whole group will practice History taking or Examination in a role play with a tutor so
that
they prepare for
the bedside session with the patient.
2. Bedside session:
The group will be subdivided into smaller groups, They will take history and perform general and relevant local examinations under the guidance of the tutor (and as explained to them during the previous session and role play). The group will then discuss the differential diagnosis and provisional diagnosis of the case, then discuss the proper approach of the patient's diagnosis regarding further needed investigations & the plan of management.
