Clinical Encounters: Dr. Golden

CE: William Golden is a challenging, EHR-based educational game for medical and other health professional students focusing on the evaluation of weight and obesity, as well as appropriate weight-related interventions. Within a simulated patient encounter, you will experience the short-term and long-term impact of your clinical choices.

This case is centered around physician Dr. William Golden, who comes in wanting to lose weight. In this clinical simulation, you will make choices as a primary care provider and experience outcomes based on the choices you make. You will be challenged to:

-Discuss Dr. Golden's personal health habits

-Identify and treat any medical problems you uncover

You will complete typical steps of a patient encounter and receive feedback after each step:

-Review case history

-Complete an evaluation, diagnosis, and brief intervention

-Make a plan of care for your patient

Feedback is color-coded to let you know whether you made the best selection, a less than ideal selection, or an incorrect selection. With the ability to retry a section or continue down paths to see impacts of different decisions, you will learn by doing without causing real-world negative outcomes.
