Abstract

This is a conversational narrative of the learning experience of a group of medical students around an interesting case that was brought to them through the network of the user driven healthcare (UDHC) system. In addition to the traditional didactic framework of lecture-based clinical medicine, the students were exposed to patient-centered learning exercises where a patient of clinically complex issues was present as a part of the didactic experience in the classroom. As an innovative approach, which has not been trialed in the Indian medical education system, the teaching experience required following up with student narratives that reflected on the learning experience gleaned from the multidimensional clinical-didactic encounter. This paper outlines a case of ranitidine-associated hepatitis, a little known side effect of a vastly prescribed drug, and the associated discussion generated on online forums, mainly driven by the students who were involved in the clinical history of the case. There are reflective accounts of the student and preceptor involved in the teaching-learning exercise discussing the clinical encounter.
