Interactive Medical Cases

[deborah212]

I'm looking for recommendations for online interactive cases for when work is slow, ideally in FM/IM.  I've been enjoying medscape clinical case challenges as well as NEJM case records from MGH. Any other good ones?

Thanks!

Medical joyworks is good. And free.

Mostly for EM but might have some crossover... search on App Store: resuscitation

https://www.humandx.org/ there is a good app. The case are presented in steps and you create and update your ddx as you get more info. It will give you a score based on how long it takes you to get the right dx.

I looked through them when I was in school, but there is a whole series of books called Case Files where you read vignettes and work through the problems. There is basically one for each of the big areas of medicine - ER, peds, surgery, etc.

I read case files for FM and IM before taking those respective shelf exams.  They're pretty good shelf prep....for books.  Not really interactive though.  LECOM promotes www.humandx.org heavily and encourages us to use it...which I do....along with all the other Qbanks and things. 

Medscape360 will email you quizzes weekly which cover a very broad range of subjects which would be a terrific thing to do if you practice FM/IM.  Any things you aren't solid on should be subjects you study if you want to grow as a provider.

What would be nice would be those interactive cases that we had to take before PANRE was PANRE as part of the certification examination where you used a revealing marker to work your way through case histories.  You could ask/order/diagnosis whatever you wanted as you worked your way through and it would tell you whether you killed the patient, saved the day, or ended up in a courtroom (made the last one up).  I seem to recall that it would tell you if you were WAY off base as well.  Ahhh, good 'ol day syndrome strikes again.
