Clinical cases are a powerful training tool for Health Sciences students. Although they are a source that carries limited weight as medical evidence, due to their particular focus, they offer very important opportunities for their use in the academic field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The possibility of linking key concepts of a pathology to an individual clinical scenario<\/strong> stimulates association and attention, as a critical mental map is established in which the following skills and capacities are engaged and developed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical cases can have different approaches<\/strong>, whether reviewing concepts related to the clinical diagnosis of a pathology; proposing an appropriate therapeutic plan; selecting the necessary diagnostic tests; establishing differential diagnoses; or simply learning to manage patients with the same pathology, who may require a variety of different approaches depending on the severity level, comorbidities, or psychosocial state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal of the clinical case is to sharpen analytical thinking<\/strong> and act in line with what real clinical experience demands<\/strong>, which ultimately is based on the application of strict and up-to-date professional protocols. In addition, the documentation and writing of these cases give students practice writing medical histories, a valuable source of clinical information for the medical professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve maximum performance and benefit in the use of clinical cases as active learning material, it is essential to have a detailed collection and presentation of information, easily implementable using ClinicalKey Student, Osmosis, and Complete Anatomy from Elsevier. A structure correctly adapted to the theoretical-practical academic context and developed by the students themselves to create their own bank of clinical cases should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The clinical case is an essential extract of the clinical experience brought into the classroom<\/strong>. It allows for the development of collaborative work areas in flipped classroom scenarios, structured debates (including peer review), and the development of active learning, both group and individual. And, most importantly, it brings students to the bedside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Clinical cases are a powerful training tool for Health Sciences students.
