HANDBOOK
Drawing on the experiences of PedsCases contributors and medical education theory, we have developed a content production handbook that carefully summarizes the core elements of writing MCQs, podcasts, and clinical cases. An article published in the University of Toronto Medical Journal is available free to download and outlines how students can effectively transform textbook knowledge into an online resource that complements day-to-day medical education. Contact us at
pedscases@gmail.com if you would like a copy of the handbook.
