Do: Include a sentence outlining your thought process for every clinical
assessment. This is called “clinical reasoning.”

Do: Before you offer your plan, make sure you have an assessment for every diagnosis.

What is the burden of tuberculosis and how may it be controlled at a population level?Describe its main features and why this programme would be effective.

The Burden of Tuberculosis

What is the burden of tuberculosis and how may it be controlled at a population level?

Identify the risk factors for spread of tuberculosis at an individual and population level. Base your answer on published evidence and answer in general terms rather than for a single population.

Compare the impact of these different risk factors and identify, based on evidence, which are the most important to address.

Assess the burden of tuberculosis in your country and discuss how this compares regionally and globally. Critically evaluate the reliability of the data you are using.

Describe how the spread of tuberculosis could be controlled using a whole system approach.

Describe its main features and why this programme would be effective.

Discuss the likely challenges to implementation and how these might be addressed.
