Introduction PmW101 Dr Jesse Joel Thathapudi  Every physician needs to be able to make a correct diagnosis, an essential first step to the next one; treatment and prognosis’. How the medical student formulates this diagnosisis being altered by developments in medical education. Over the last decade a paradigm shift in the way undergraduate medicine is taught has occurred. Part of this change is the move away from traditional didactic teaching to problem-based learning(PBL) model. The translation of new knowledge about mechanisms that govern human pathobiology into effective preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies is a slow and cumbersome process. A major contributor to this translational delay is the use of the traditional characterization and definition of human disease, which dates to the 19th century and is largely based on Oslerian clinicopathological correlation
