Medical Training AIRoot Cause Assessment in Primary Care
You'll be able to systematically evaluate patients with chronic, multi-system complaints by mapping contributing factors across gut, hormonal, metabolic, and environmental domains before selecting an intervention.
What this track covers
This track covers a structured approach to chronic disease presentations that don't resolve with standard first-line management — including persistent GI symptoms, fatigue, and hormonal irregularities. You'll practice organizing a patient's history, labs, and exposures into a coherent picture, then prioritizing which findings warrant further workup versus lifestyle-focused intervention. The focus is on clinical reasoning and test interpretation, not on any single protocol or product.
What you will practice
- Build a timeline linking a patient's symptom onset to diet, stress, sleep, and exposure history
- Interpret a stool or GI panel and decide whether findings change management
- Differentiate primary thyroid dysfunction from non-thyroidal illness using more than TSH alone
- Evaluate a nutrient deficiency pattern and decide which findings need confirmatory testing
- Sequence a workup for fatigue that considers adrenal, thyroid, and sleep contributors before ordering specialty labs
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with six months of bloating, fatigue, and irregular cycles, and the clinician must decide which labs to order and what to address first.
Board question topics
- Interpreting thyroid panels beyond TSH
- Distinguishing IBS from SIBO on clinical grounds
- Recognizing red flags that require referral versus conservative management
- Nutrient deficiency workup in patients with GI symptoms
