Purpose
Problem-based learning is a methodology designed to help students develop the reasoning process used in
clinical practice through problem solving actual patient problems in the same manner as they occur in
practice. The purpose of this activity is to develop students’ clinical reasoning skills using a case-based
learning exercise. Through participation in an online discussion forum, students identify learning issues in a
self-directed manner which facilitates learning for the entire group.
Activity Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate competence in the evaluation and management of common respiratory
problems (WO 2.1) (CO 2,3,4,5)
2. Distinguish between obstructive and restrictive lung disease (CO 2, 4) Develop a management
plan for the case study patient based on identified primary, secondary and differential diagnoses. (WO 2.2)
(CO 2,4)
3. Interpret pulmonary function test results. (WO 2.3) (CO 2, 4)
Due Date:

topic-related post of a peer including evidence from appropriate sources AND all direct faculty questions in
parts one by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
A 10% late penalty will be imposed for discussions posted after the deadline on Thursday 11:59pm MT,
regardless of the number of days late. NOTHING will be accepted after 11:59pm MT on Sunday (i.e.
