prioritized differential diagnosis, order appropriate diagnostic tests, and develop an evidence-based
management plan. The encounter requires the learner to distinguish between common and vision-
threatening causes of eye complaints in a young adult, apply clinical reasoning skills, and document
findings in a complete SOAP note.
