Student Seminar - Two Interesting Cases
2026-05-24 20:00 - 21:00 UTC | MRDF Zoom Online
This month, two medical students from Madras Medical College will be presenting clinical cases as part of our Student Seminar Series. The First one presented by Aarav Joshua Paul “When Fever Refuses to Fade” is particularly down‑to‑earth — the kind of patient we encounter frequently in general hospitals across India. Its strength lies in its simplicity and relevance: it reflects the real clinical challenges that young doctors face every day.
By discussing a common yet important presentation, the student will demonstrate how careful history‑taking, thoughtful clinical reasoning, and practical management can turn an ordinary case into an excellent learning opportunity.
The second case, presented by Adarsh Chandramouli, “When Immunity Fails – A Case of Disseminated CNS Aspergillosis in Suspected Primary NK Cell Deficiency” appears more complex and involved than what we usually expect from a second‑year medical student. This makes it particularly interesting — it will be valuable to see how the student structures the presentation, identifies the key issues, and explains the clinical reasoning behind each step.
Complex cases often reveal a student’s ability to prioritise information, simplify difficult concepts, and communicate clearly. It will be a good opportunity for all of us to observe how a young student approaches a challenging scenario.
