This is how Hawaii goes: (U have this, right?)
5 minutes, focusing on the pertinent information about a patient's CC, HPI, PE, and Lab/Image, then the residents around will challenge u, and u have to answer all the qs from them. Finally, u disclose the Dx.

Ok at the risk of sounding completely like Forrest Gump do they really ask u to present a case during the Interview like on ur first meet or is this something else or possibly i m missing something.

Wow..., thanks mph..., didn´nt know it was like that, I guess I have some work to do...
Nnl, from what I have heard it´s pretty common for applicants to be ask to present a case on 1st meet..., no is nothing else, you´re not missing a thing...
Any other opinion...

they can ask you to talk about an interesting case you saw during your rotations/experience...it's not common though...

I'll try to present a case in 5 min. following a H%P ...and concluding with something you learned from it.

you don't have to carry any images as evidence, right?

don't think so... you usually don't have to show documents at interviews... you could though, if you have some research paper etc... I believe they have enough info from eras.
This case presentations seem to be asked to asses english skills, and skills to present medical info...thought process maybe?

Definitely not for medical stuff. It's to demonstrate ur English only. Ur English is so good, wont having a problem at all.
As for medical stuff, I dont think they wanna test it. Neither the thinking process, as u ll find most of the residents there r...residents. For most IMG here on this forum, there's nothing to worry about when it comes to level with AMG residents.

No, their English is surely better, so their presentation will be a lot better.
But when it comes to medical challenge, most of us here have the real life experience(A lot of us r already attending before coming here). From my experience, those residents basically ask vague (big direction) qs rather than asking specific, precise knowledge at the attending level as they basically r where they r.
But it's another story if u r asked by faculty. I believe not a lot of the programs will arrange residents to ask qs like what I experienced.

Yes, I ve been asked to present in front of 7 residents and 1 medical students in Hawaii(2 R3, 2R2, 3R1). No faculty was there, but I saw every R3 had a blank paper to mark. I am totally confident in front of these young guns.
This part was not mandatory, but according to them, for the prematch candidate, doing this would strengthen the application.
To present that case, I stayed until late afternoon to join the late noon conference.

Do they ask for lab data and all kinds of details or just a brief presentation of an interesting case?

In my case, I report the pertinent lab data only as there's only 5 minutes for case presentation.
However, during the post-presentation discussion, if they wanna know for example the Bun/Cre value, they ll ask u.
It's more like u host the morning meeting as a resident.

One more question, should we keep the diagnosis to ourselves and ask the residents/faculty what they think the diagnosis is?, or what they would do, order, etc?...

I hope u dont get distracted by my Hawaii experience as I think most of the case presentation is with one faculty a time only.
If it's for Hawaii, u would have to hide the diagnosis as there's a conclusion time for u to talk about the Dx.
For others, no idea, but I think whether or not hiding the Dx is not important unless it's a very rare case that u wanna impress the faculty.

About the case presentation, How does it work? Are we going to interview the patient or we will have access the medical records??
I dont understand. What about the patient privacy, cuz at this point we are still not part of their housestaff
