- Abstract:
"Jason Hendrix," a 21-year-old student majoring in economics, is injured in a serious motorcycle accident while on spring break in Florida. Students read the short case scenario, which provides a brief clinical history of the patient and a description of his injury, then answer a set of directed questions designed to probe the students' knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology underlying the patient's condition. The case study has been used in both a sophomore-level course in human anatomy and physiology and a senior-level course in general physiology.
