Spotlight on … BMJ Learning and Case Reports

What are they?

BMJ Learning offers high-quality continuing medical education for doctors and other healthcare professionals. It features hundreds of accredited, peer-reviewed learning modules in text, video, and audio formats.

BMJ Case Reports is an important educational resource offering a high volume of cases in all disciplines so that healthcare professionals, researchers and others can easily find clinically important information on common and rare conditions. All articles are peer reviewed and copy edited before publication. BMJ Case Reports is not an edition or supplement of the BMJ

 

Why are they useful?

They are important for anyone interested in continuing professional development (CPD) and other educational aims. BMJ Learning contains a large amount of free educational resources; BMJ Case Reports allows professionals to keep up to date with illnesses and treatments in their fields.
