Meet your patients
Run diagnostic tests on patients
Diagnose patients and develop a prognosis

• To begin this process, we need to have some background
knowledge on a few health conditions.
• With your group, discuss what you know about the following
conditions: sickle cell anemia, HIV, pregnancy, diabetes
• Time: 10 minutes
Activity 1
• We will be going to the computer lab to research the 4
conditions.
• Work with a partner to complete the Cause, Symptom &
Treatment/Cure table
• Time: 60 minutes
Closing
• Get with someone you have not worked with in class yet
• From your research, discuss any questions, interesting facts, or

researched
• We will discuss as an entire class after
• Time: 10 minutes

Discuss and write your answers to the discussion questions
Sign The Hippocratic Oath
Time: 15 minutes
Activity 1
• Each member of the group will be a patient and be a part of a
team of doctors
• You will have one medical condition that you will act out to
the team of doctors
• The team of doctors will come up with a diagnosis and why,
discuss what treatments are available, and what the prognosis
is for the patient.
• Time: 40 minutes (10 minutes per patient)

• Choose 2 of the health conditions we have been studying over
the past 2 days and create an acrostic
