More and more teachers and students realize that case-based lessons are very valuable in teaching "real-life" medicine. Launching an online case-based curriculum of clinical medicine, ClinicalCases.org do this work!
After a few weeks of clinical practice, most medical students and residents realize that there is a significant difference between what they read in the textbooks and what they see in the hospital wards and clinics every day. Somehow, the patients are different from their disease description in the books. As one experienced physician put it succinctly: "his CHF did not read the book." How to bridge this gap between theory and practice? Our answer was to create a case-based curriculum of clinical medicine. It is an attempt to reveal what the real medicine looks like and to prepare the mind of the life-long learners that all health workers should be.
