Under Pressure Medical Cases

About Interactive Medical Cases

Each interactive case presents an evolving patient history and a series of questions and exercises designed to test your diagnostic and therapeutic skills. You will receive immediate feedback on your answers and treatment choices, along with the opportunity to compare your final score with those of your peers. Video, animation, and interactive content allow you to learn more about mechanisms, diagnostic tests, and treatments.
