Medical Mystery Home
Mystery of the Week is designed to help students, residents, and physicians in practice build upon their knowledge of differential diagnosis and clinical skills and to apply this knowledge at the bedside. Each week a new case is presented along with the answer to last weeks case.
This site differs from others in that the mystery cases are presented in a realistic form - one that practicing physicians and medical students actually encounter on a day-to-day basis. Hence, except for avatar mystery cases, there are no multiple choice questions; rather, the participant must use the history and/or physical findings provided with each case to conclude a diagnosis.
The James H. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
