I will write soap notes, differential diagnoses, and care plans

SOAP stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. The subjective information constitutes the chief complaint (CC), history of present illness (HPI), past medical history (PMH), family history (FH), social history (SH), and review of systems (ROS). The objective information is a critical component of a SOAP note. This data constitutes what a practitioner can observe, such as vital signs (VS), physical examination findings, and laboratory results. Together, the subjective and objective information should lead you to, and should support, the assessment or most likely diagnosis. Once you have made an assessment, you can establish a plan of care.

I will deliver a SOAP note with all the essential features. The completeness and accuracy of the history (subjective information) will help guide what you look for when performing a problem-specific physical examination (objective information) and formulating a list of possible causes, also known as differential diagnoses (DDX).
