| Description | One of the primary goals of the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science is to develop and maintain a nationally accessible refereed collection of exemplary case studies in all areas of science for use at the undergraduate, graduate, and high school level. We have been working toward this goal for over 10 years and our collection of more than 380 peer-reviewed cases has become the centerpiece of our website. The cases in our collection are written by science faculty primarily from the U.S. and Canada, although our authors also hail from Sweden, Egypt, and Australia. Cases on our site are published after undergoing a rigorous process of peer review and revision. All of them have teaching notes. Many also have answer keys, which are password protected. Copyright for these materials is held by the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science. They may be used by teachers subject to our usage guidelines. | |||

I have been using a number of case studies from this collection in my second-year nursing pathophysiology course for a number of years. I often add additional questions to tie in concepts from first year A&P. The next step is to introduce case studies into first year A&P and there are so many good ones to choose from!
Sometimes there are different versions of a case study directed at different grade levels.

This is an unbelievable resource. You can join their email listserv to receive notice when new cases are added. The range of topics is incredible. I've used cases in Anatomy, Physiology and General Biology.

Case studies are an excellent source. I signed up! Can't wait to incorporate them into my curriculum.
