Improve your academic writing skills
This video course teaches you how to write high-quality, clear, and concise case reports, and describes what case reports require to be posted on a preprint platform, presented as a poster, or published in a medical journal.
Improve your author profile
Publishing your clinical experience will build up your author profile, even if you’re a first-time author. With your updated knowledge in scientific writing in health and medicine, you can enhance your case reports and make them more likely to be noticed by the clinical community.
Make a difference
Can your case report help others? Maybe. In medical history, we have benefited greatly from outstanding case reports such as Barnard’s case report about the first human heart transplant or McBride’s on thalidomide and birth defects. Even if your case report doesn’t have a huge impact, it can still make a difference, possibly offering a unique view on solving a clinical problem.
