CORD Cases
Recorded at the 2008 and 2009 Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) Clinical Pathological Case (CPC) conferences, these selected cases are teaching tools that illustrate the deliberation necessary to reach a correct diagnosis. Cases focus on uncommon presentations of common diagnoses and common presentations of uncommon diagnoses.
The CORD case format consists of a presenter who introduces the case (and later confirms diagnosis), and a discussant who attempts to solve the case based on careful consideration of the differential diagnosis. The downloadable cases are optimized for viewing on mobile mp4 devices. They can also be viewed from your desktop. Presented in conjunction with the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors. Due to lack of permissions, some images will not be shown.
