List of Clinical Presentations
MyPsych App
These have been extracted, for your convenience, from the Master List of Clinical Presentations. You should remember that there are often important psychological aspects of all problems presenting in medicine, and that patients with psychiatric illness may present with other complaints as well. You should attempt to see patients from each category and write up approximately one case a week, with reflective summary, for your portfolio of cases. Your Educational Supervisor should also review these cases.
