- History is not his story but much more - a deliberate inquiry that offers provisional diagnosis in >80% of cases
- Basics of common and not so-rare symptoms are essential to understand the disease process
- Analysis of clinical cases with MCQs drive the points home
- Build the power of observation that offers a clue to diagnosis
- "Testing a test" is necessary to choose the relevant tests for rational practice
