Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Family Medicine
  • Clinical Communication

Background:

  • Traditional case presentations, rooted in disease-centered models, often neglect the patient's subjective experience.
  • This can lead to a disconnect between biological processes and the individual's lived experience of illness.
  • The need for a more holistic approach in medical training is increasingly recognized.

Observation:

  • A patient-centered case presentation method is described, integrating subjective patient experiences with traditional biomedical information.
  • This format prioritizes the patient's narrative and personal context within the case history.
  • The method is particularly suited for training senior residents in family medicine.

Findings:

  • The proposed method enhances the 'patient-centeredness' attitude in medical trainees.
