Clinical case studies

Manchester medical undergraduate curriculum

The Manchester MBChB (Medical Undergraduate) curriculum is underpinned by a problem-based approach. The following are comments from Occupational Physicians on the management of some of these cases. They illustrate points such as occupational history taking, other means of assessing health problems relating to work or the environment, preventive measures and other aspects of case management.
