The Post-Travel Diagnosis Lesson Plan by GIDEON aims to equip students with the skills to perform differential diagnosis while considering the patient’s travel history as an important diagnostic tool. Upon completing the lesson, students will be able to include patient travel history as part of their diagnostic toolkit and understand the significance of travel as a “fifth vital sign” for diagnosis. The lesson involves working on a real event-based case study of diagnosing Legionnaires’ disease when malaria was initially suspected.
