Prior to the course theparticipants will be divided into groups of approx. 6 and each group will receive a set ofpatient cases (typical as well as complicated).

For each case one participant from each group will onthe day of the case discussions be asked to lead the group in its discussion and make a verybrief presentation/be the group leader for the plenary session. After discussions in thegroup sessions the cases are to be presented and discussed in plenum. Alternatively, atrainee may be asked to prepare a case from his/her own clinic to be discussed in plenum.
