A case report provides important and detailed information about a patient that is often lost in larger studies.
Studying medical cases is an effective way to enhance clinical reasoning skills and reinforce clinical knowledge. Case reports can provide valuable sources of information for others to learn from. Because of this, it is important that they develop learning techniques that are proactive and encourage a lifelong learning orientation. Doctors are accustomed to learning from their more experienced peers as well as from their own experiences in treating their patients.
