4)Case based OSCE along with BLOOM’S learning levels Achieved  It all started when I was asked to send for the investigations of a 35 year old female who was taken over from the department of Dermatoloy on my OP day. I reluctantly went up as I was already on a roll with the 36hr shifts I had to take. But then as I went to the patient I was filled with compassion for that Thin and undernourished patient who was going through a lot!!  A 35 year old female presented with C/o painful skin lesions over arms, legs, back since 2 months -C/o Fever and Burning Micturition since 4 days HOPI- Patient was apparently asymptomatic 2 months back then she developed painful skin lesions over arms, legs, back.

1) Self reflective writing on their medical student career  Hello I’m Cherish Kandru Intern from 2k18 batch. "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite". Well, that was Shakespeare in his well-known play Romeo and Juliet! This reminds me of a Medical Student's journey from being that timid scared first-year kid to becoming a full-baked Doc! That attitude of giving it more is what keeps them in the race. Be it their time, the quest for knowledge, or the patience with the patient is something that breaks the mold. It's something that allows you to change your tune.  NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE E LOGBOOK TO DISCUSS OUR PATIENT'S DE-IDENTIFIED HEALTH DATA SHARED AFTER TAKING HIS/HER GUARDIAN'S SIGNED INFORMED CONSENT. HERE WE DISCUSS OUR INDIVIDUAL PATIENT'S PROBLEMS THROUGH A SERIES OF INPUTS FROM THE AVAILABLE GLOBAL ONLINE COMMUNITY OF EXPERTS INTENDING TO SOLVE THOSE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
