This clinical reasoning case presents a patient with knee and ankle arthritis / eye redness / urethral discharge / 3 weeks post-gi illness in a rheumatology context. Learners work through a structured 10-phase simulation covering initial differential, history-taking, physical examination, labs and imaging, and management planning.
"What diagnostic criteria confirm this diagnosis — and what is your treatment decision for this flare?"
How the Simulation Works
- Read the patient presentation and form your initial differential diagnosis
- Interview the AI patient to gather history and explore your hypotheses
- Perform a focused physical examination based on your differential
- Order appropriate labs and imaging, then interpret the results
- Revise your diagnosis and develop a management plan
- Receive personalized teaching feedback from your AI attending, Dr. Patel
What You'll Learn
This case builds skills in systematic clinical reasoning, hypothesis-driven history-taking, appropriate test ordering, and evidence-based management. It is designed for Medicine students and practicing clinicians seeking to sharpen diagnostic thinking in rheumatology.
