Diagnosis. You Are the Doctor!
This kit, consisting of 21 patient folders and a teacher's manual, allows students to assume the role of doctors to diagnose patients. Students examine the symptoms for a patient and choose which tests should be run to confirm or refute their initial diagnosis. After the test results are received, students make a final diagnosis and recommend a course of treatment for their cases. One suggested teaching strategy is for students to present their results before a review panel.
