PedsCases - A Learning Module of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Cases for Medical Students

Abstract

Abstract This learning module features a series of pediatric emergency medicine cases for medical students. The multistep cases cover a broad range of common but more serious presentations to the pediatric emergency room. The topics include status epilepticus, acute asthma exacerbation, hypovolemic shock, intoxication, anaphylaxis, and a common fracture. This learning module is a part of PedsCases, a comprehensive series of web-based educational tools that focus on the core objectives of undergraduate pediatric education. PedsCases was created by and for medical students and provides an opportunity for active self-directed learning in pediatrics. The learning modalities available include questions, flash card–type quizzes, multistep clinical cases, and podcasts.
