How to structure the handover
In the Fachsprachprüfung, the handover is not a casual summary. It should sound like a professional case presentation to a colleague: clear, ordered, medically relevant, and concise.
Online practice is useful because you can repeat the same case after the patient interview and train the transition from patient language to doctor language.
- Patient identity and reason for presentation.
- Main complaint with timeline and relevant symptoms.
- Relevant history, medication, allergies, and risk factors.
- Suspected diagnosis and differential diagnoses.
- Recommended diagnostic or therapeutic next steps.
