Experiences of a Case Writer
April 22nd, 2010I am a respiratory registrar and got involved in case writing while on a “year out” out of my training program, working as a clinical teaching fellow. I have now been involved with writing and updating several of the cases used in T year. I tend to start by reading the original paper case and then sketching out a map of the patient’s pathway. I pick the important or difficult areas and create decision points with options around these areas. Finally I get on with typing - fleshing out the story based on patients from my experiences on the wards and clinics. Hopefully this makes the cases realistic but also focuses the students’ attentions around the key areas in the case. The challenge is not getting bogged down in unnecessary detail or making the cases too hard - especially when writing cases in my own speciality. Fingers crossed the students find them a useful resource.
