Welcome to the Diagnosis and Treatment Archive (DATA). DATA is a reference tool designed to help you research signs, symptoms, and potential diagnoses for a patient's condition.

What's in DATA?

• Diagnoses—A diagnosis is an explanation of a patient’s clinical findings (signs, symptoms, and test results). If you already know what a patient’s condition is and need treatment options, or if you suspect what a patient’s condition is but need to know additional symptoms to look for, a diagnosis would be the place to start.


• Clinical Findings—Clinical Findings include signs—things you can see; symptoms—things your patient tells you about; and test results. If you are working to determine what is causing a patient’s symptoms, a clinical finding page might be a good place to start.


• Science Links—Science links provide background information to help you understand the basic biology in this rotation. Use these links when you need more background on a particular topic, whether it is specifically for your work or just to satisfy your own curiosity about a topic that interests you.

Note: Some links in DATA provide information from Wikipedia. While Wikipedia is a valuable resource, unlike some other websites, anyone can contribute to or modify the site (whether they're knowledgeable about the topic or not). As a result, the site is subject to constant change by questionable sources. Be sure to cross-check information on Wikipedia with other reputable sites to ensure accuracy.
