Why should I participate in the Case of the Week (COTW)?
There are many reasons:
1. It is a great learning experience for you AND the rest of the world you are sharing yoru teaching files with
2. The COTW are unique cases with self-evaluation/quiz features (easy to create - see below)
3. Your cases will be featured on high traffic educational sites such as
- www.Radiolopolis.com
- www.RadiologyTeacher.com
- www.CaseOfTheWeek.org
- and other educational sites to come
Interested? Then you might like to know how to create the COTW?
