Description

(There is PowerPoint presentation to accompany each of the nine Istanbul Protocol Model Medical Curriculum modules. Designed primarily for instructors who prefer to use a lecture format, the content of the presentations closely parallels that of the modules.) Module 5 provides a detailed review of physical examination methods used to evaluate physical evidence of torture and ill-treatment. It begins with a review relevant questions for the medical history, then provides a systematic organ system review of physical evidence, and concludes with information on medical photography and relevant diagnostic tests. Module 5 will help students assimilate the information needed to evaluate and effectively document physical evidence of torture and ill-treatment. The Self-Assessment quizzes for Modules 4 and 5 will also help students to recognise common physical evidence of torture, provide accurate interpretations of their findings, and understand indications for diagnostic test.
