Short cases from around the world so that you can work through large numbers of real cases.  To cover a topic thoroughly you will lead to look at many, commiting yourself to writing short answers on each before revealing more.

We include cases from different parts of the world and different healthcare systems because we have an international audience, but also because considering cases outside your usual environment makes you really think about the basis for what you do. That makes you more likely to remember principles.

Who For?

Anyone working in a healthcare environment. Cases are classified into levels :

• LEVEL A = Beginner
• LEVEL B = Intermediate
• LEVEL C = Specialist

How

This format was developed from an educational, open-access, open-source, low-cost project first developed to support Scottish Government funded University of Edinburgh-Malawi projects. Further work was put in during development of Edinburgh University’s online MSc in Internal Medicine.

Who from?

Input and cases have come from projects associated with the University of Edinburgh, from the International Committee of the UK Kidney Association, from clinicians on the Renal Unit at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, and from individual clinicians in the UK and around the world.

How to submit cases
