Each week you are encouraged to read a clinical vignette and, based on your understanding of pathology, suggest a diagnosis. Some of the clinical findings and laboratory data may be unfamiliar to you, but work through each case as best you can. This is a learning experience.

After you have reviewed the case, select a diagnosis from the option list and click "submit". A histogram showing the distribution of student responses, as well as an explanation of the correct diagnosis, will be posted inside the class Discussion Board the following Monday. This exercise should be an enjoyable learning experience for both students and faculty.
