Sharpen your clinical reasoning with challenging clinical cases!

Practicum Script will help you to self-assess and train your clinical reasoning skills, boosting your ability to manage uncertainty and complexity in real-life situations. It has been specially designed for senior medical students.

All the cases show prevalent conditions in Internal Medicine, such as chest pain, jaundice, chronic cough, etc., but you will have to deal with a significant degree of uncertainty while making decisions. A new case will be presented every week.

Feedback based on experts’ opinions and clinical evidences from the literature.
