Critical analysis of a case report (Facilitator)
In this session, we will assess a paper that is a case report on a patient with episodes of confusion and hypoglycemia. What was the diagnosis? Read the case report to find out! There will also be a short discussion on a case report and where it fits into the evidence-based pyramid. Learning Goals Learning […]

The ear
Optional reading Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 9th ed., Head chapter, Ear section through Auditory ossicles. The ear is the part of the head that contains the structures associated with the special sensations of hearing and balance. For descriptive and functional purposes, anatomists and clinicians organize the ear into three parts: external, middle, and internal. Figure 1. […]
