Abstract:
Conventional reversed clinicopathological conference (RCPC) is an educational method to interpret labora- tory data. In this RCPC, physicians and several specialists in laboratory medicine discussed laboratory data of a patient with tuberculous spondylitis who complained of back pain and general fatigue. Then, they and the moderators held a question-and-answer session with an audience in a hall, and they tried to understand the detailed state of the patient.
