After a quick introduction to Clinical Practice Guidelines and the BC Guideline iPhone app, the students will be divided into 6 groups and participate in a game during which they must answer medical related questions. Each question will be presented on the screen and the group which answers the most questions correctly in the fastest time will win prizes.

Osteoarthritis: patient history: joints affected: hip, knee ; no inflamation: morning stiffness <30 mins, not much swelling Osteoarthritis: physical exam: Rheumatoid Arthritis: non-inflammatory arthritis: joint pain only on an activity, morning stiffness <30 mins Management of early RA: Why? Early aggressive treatment can alter disease progression For pain management start NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug)
Identify the bone component: posterior edge/tip of lateral/medial malleolus What zone? Malleolar zone What kind of x-rays needed? Ankle x-rays

Risk of hypertension in next 10 years: Green <10% Suggests lifestyle changes more suitable Smoking 42 year old man, with untreated BP, with systolic: 150 Lifestyle management: Smoking cessation, physical activity (30-60 mins of moderate intensity of dynamic activity 4 to 7 days/week), weight reduction ()
