This book provides medical students and physicians with a
practical, step-by-step guide on how to write and publish a medical
case report. The case report is the traditional way for physicians
to describe their unique or unusual cases to a broad audience and
it plays an important role in the discovery of new diseases or
syndromes, unusual manifestations of disease, important adverse
drug reactions, and the generation of hypotheses for further study.
This book guides readers through the process from choosing a case
to report on to finding a publisher and then comment on future
directions and potential new uses of case reports, including
expanded computer case databases to optimize care for individual
patients and new applications in medical education. Interspersed
throughout the text are example case reports, many written by the
authors, with commentary on their experiences working with those
reports to provide context and aid readers in creating clear,
concise, and useful case reports.
Working in the outpatient clinic is a key training experience for
medical students. When they arrive at the clinic, students may
discover that their time on the inpatient wards does not
necessarily prepare them to perform well in the outpatient setting.
Everything is different in the clinic, from the nature and context
of the patient encounter to the student's role in note-writing,
oral case presentation, and case discussion with the attending
physician. The purpose of this book is to guide students as they
transition to the world of 15-minute appointments, telemedicine,
cyberchondriasis, motivational interviewing, shared medical
appointments, and real-time informatics. The aim is to give
students a clear understanding of their role in a variety of clinic
settings, to evaluate and present their patients well, maximize
learning, and provide excellent care for their patients. Excelling
in the Clinic explains the process of becoming an effective,
efficient, and scholarly worker in the primary care clinic.
