- For
- Medical students studying for Step 1 or Step 2 CK
- Worth noticing
- Cases use six findings that progress from vague to specific; missed main diagnoses return as readmissions five patients later.
Field notes
Case findings are grouped by marker color: red for physical exam, blue for history, yellow for vitals, labs, and imaging, and purple for an attending's note. The site describes separate Step 1 and Step 2 CK collections, plus a Physician Lounge that tracks accuracy by system and lets players review solved files. The creator identifies the project as an independent effort by a medical student and says the patients are fictional.
