🛈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.
🛈The top video often has a training activity to the right. The “Train to view cases” activity has you order the events in the video to sharpen viewing skills. The “Evidence-based thinking” activity has you practice making conclusions based only on evidence presented in the video.
