How do you use and review a case collection? A collection of teaching material? Plan to spend time carefully going through and observing each example. Review examples side by side. Look for similarities, and differences. Compare and contrast. Review a series of similar examples, and contrasting ones. Repeat this process. With each session, your ability to recognise key features increases. Keep repeating this process until you become very familiar and confident in your ability to quickly and accurately recognise each example, each case scenario - and be able to state what each example is, to justify this diagnosis or opinion, and be able to describe what actions to take next.
