Description:

This course will provide an overview on best practices in writing case reports. Students will learn how to conduct a literature review, define the rationale for presenting a case, write a concise and focused case report, and edit their initial manuscript to produce a first draft. The goal of this course is to provide students with a guided writing experience to prepare them for future writing in medicine. For motivated students, a publication could also result from their work, although that will require additional investment beyond the course.
