Taking the case correctly is the foundation on which the entire treatment of the case will rest. A case taken well is a case almost half completed. It is important for you to gather all the information that you need while allowing the patient to tell their story, all within a reasonable time frame, such that you can begin treatment immediately in most cases. In this Module you will be taken through the different elements of a good case as well as through the difficult, yet simple art of taking the case from the patient. Here, your skills of observation and discernment, learned through the entire course and emphasized at the beginning of your training with us, will become essential.
