August 2, 2022
No Comments

Prompt:

Patients and/or their families may ask what it means to have a particular diagnosis and why specific drug classes are recommended for treatment. The response patients receive frequently determines the course of treatment they agree to pursue. As clinicians, it is important to break down information into pieces patients are able to understand.

In this assignment, you will practice explaining the neurobiology of a disorder (see below for assignment) to a hypothetical patient or a patient’s family member. You will utilize Kaltura to create a video submission. In your video, briefly explain potential contributing factors (genetic, environment, situation) to the disorder. Discuss key neurotransmitters involved and any brain structure changes that may be present. Remember, your “audience” (the patient and/or their family) likely has little to no medical knowledge, so this explanation should be simplified.

 

If your LAST NAME starts with A through I: Explain Bipolar Disorder

If your LAST NAME starts with J through Q: Explain Schizophrenia

If your LAST NAME starts with R through Z: Explain ADHD

  2. Record your video
    • Your assignment should be a video of yourself with audio
    • Look into the camera and pretend you are addressing your patient or patient’s family
  3. Upload to Kaltura and submit the assignment through the assignment link (see Using Kaltura below)
  4. Respond to two (2) peers. At least one response should be to a peer assigned a different diagnosis.
    • Responses can be video or written. If you choose a video peer response, make sure to include references
