Q2: Testing scholarship competency of the examinees ( ability to read comprehend, analyze, reflect upon and discuss captured patient centered data):

Q3) Testing competency in "Evidence based medicine": Include the review of literature around sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic interventions mentioned and same around efficacy of the therapeutic interventions mentioned for each patient. 

Q4) Testing competency in patient data capture and representation through ethical case reporting/case presentation with informed consent :

Reflective logging  of one's own experiences is a vital tool toward competency development in medical education and research. 

A sample answer to this last assignment around sharing your experience log of the month can be seen in one student's  answer to Q10 in the  May 2021 assignment in the link below:


And another student answer to Q5 in the June and July 2021 assignment in the links below :
