MedDRA coding

What you'll practice

• Split a reporter's words into codeable events
• Choose a term and write why you kept or dropped nearby terms
• Flag wording that is too vague to code
• Keep the coding sheet consistent with the narrative facts

Sample input

Preview: three reporter phrases from a synthetic case — headache after the first dose, stomach upset, and a note that says the patient felt unwell. The term list is hidden.

What you'll submit

A coding sheet: verbatim, chosen term, and a one-line justification for each row.

Scoring rubric

• Term choice · 40 points

  Each coded event matches the verbatim and does not add a diagnosis the source does not support.

• Justification · 30 points

  You explain the choice in a sentence a reviewer can check.

• Omissions · 30 points

  Vague phrases are marked as not coded, with the reason.

What you receive

A score from 0 to 100, written feedback from a reviewer, and a portfolio record you can share after review.
