Training tip: Treat the case like your own patient. First make your own assessment without help from the site. View this video and make as many observations and conclusions as you can on your own. There may be very little or no audio. Consider turning off the sound to help you focus on your own observations. If there is an activity on the right, it will either let you work on viewing skills or evidence-based thinking. Once you’ve made your assessment, switch to voice-over explanatory audio below to hear how the site talks about the case. Now you can check your work.

🛈We invite you to join us in the room. In-room audio can be variable, but you can sometime here informative discussions and the sounds of the case. Sometimes the physician is just working and there is no audio explanation. Remember, these are real case for real families, not produced for the site. Please turn on closed captions to assist, as sometimes the physician is wearing a heavy fume mask. And please feel free to check if there is “voice-over” audio instead.
🛈In development. Some cases have voice-over audio. Please check back as additional cases are updated with this feature.
🛈Some cases have anatomy pin video to assist with anatomy identification as you watch the case. The list of pins is provided at the right.
