In her training, I'm quite sure she will learn quite a bit about Past History; how to read and interpret such info, at least I would certainly hope so.
It's up to the patient how much one chooses to disclose. It's not to make a "judgement" against anyone. You could always just plainly state that you want to get their diagnosis first, before sharing that information with them.
