Sunday June 26th - Day 1 Week 7

Age-standardised disability-adjusted life year...Image via Wikipedia

Age standardised DALY's from panic disorder
Brand new group - more numbers than last week. Also several house officers and more senior family doctors. Good start this morning with structuring the rest of the week and getting all the assessments done before 11. Then into the work starting off with a section on history and mental state examination with Tom revealing his hidden acting talent role playing like his life depended on it. Also got the students to do role playing in a more structured way which seemed to work. After prayers finished this off by doing some MCQ's on history and mental state exam. Tremondous prizes on offer including a Wills and Kate mug...This afternoon proceeded with anxiety and stress by Ameira and a role play of panic disorder. Whilst not in the MHGap curriculum anxiety seems to be important in primary care and probably should be included - the way it is presented in association with medically unexplained symptoms is not helpful. First mug won this pm after tie break question. Teaching team working well we now have lesson plans and clear goals about the knowledge, attitudes and skills we want the students to learn each session.
