From the NEJM case, develop a question that is not answered directly in the case. For example, if the case mentions that obesity is a risk factor for developing cardiac disease, your question might be, “How does obesity contribute to the development of cardiac disease?” Search for at least two peer-reviewed journal articles that address the question. Need drawing a conclusion about your hypothesis based on your research. Community-Based Case Instructions Contact a local pathologist, medical examiner, or other healthcare professional in your community. Ask your contact about an interesting case in which he or she has been involved. Summarize the case. Work with your contact to ensure that you have covered the main points appropriately. Attachments area Question Development Steps Read article once through. Don’t record or highlight anything, simply read the article for interest Read the article a second time more thoroughly Highlight all medical diagnosis that are suggested by the doctor Highlight (in a different colour) the reasoning that the author ruled in or out each diagnosis, or treatments that they would administer. Ex. On page two of the article, the author states that he would start a thiamine infusion to treat the patient for Wernickes Encephalopathy. Develop an OMNIBUS question, or an overarching question Ex: “Why is thiamine indicated to treat wernickes encephalopathy?” Develop secondary and tertiary questions Ex. “What is wernickes encephalopathy?”, “What are the signs and symptoms of wernickes encephalopathy”, “What are some risk factors for developing wernickes?” Find Empirical Journal Articles go to https://scholar.google.ca Type the diagnosis into google scholar and hit enter Somewhere on the screen, you will be able to filter results. Ensure the articles are filtered to show you ONLY articles since 2013. Anything older will cost you 4% of your grade. Skim the articles that seem to address subject matter surrounding your primary, secondary, and tertiary questions. Fact collection steps (Repeat for each article) Start each fact collection step on either a fresh piece of paper or a new word document on the computer. Start with the citation at the top of the sheet Read through the paper, and jot down relevant information that answers your questions. Use your own words to summarize what was said. After each of the points, write the in-text citation as it will appear in your paper (i.e (Smith et al, 2017) ) If you complete these steps, you will be in good shape to write a rough draft of your paper!
