Interactive Medical Cases
"Educators have long recognized that learning is enhanced and retention improves when the educational material is relevant and engaging and includes interaction. Building on the increasing capacity of the online environment, we are pleased to launch this week a new series of Interactive Medical Cases at NEJM.org.
The interactive cases are an extension of the Clinical Problem-Solving cases that we publish each month. These articles present clinical cases that are diagnostic puzzles. In the articles published in print, an expert clinician discussant responds to sequential clinical information as a case unfolds, eventually reaching a diagnosis. The interactive cases are designed to let the reader determine the diagnostic and treatment plans. The format recapitulates a clinical encounter by presenting the patient's history with results of the physical examination and laboratory and radiographic tests. EXAMPLE
Multiple-choice questions, interspersed throughout each interactive case, address both differential diagnosis and management. After a choice is made, immediate feedback is provided to indicate why the selected response is optimal or is likely to be unhelpful. At the conclusion of each case, users are able to gauge their performance relative to that of their peers."
