Summary A model case‐study for imparting knowledge of the principles of emergency medical referrals to medical students is described. The case‐study, which is undertaken by small syndicate groups of students, effectively combines the advantages of group interraction with those inherent in a problem‐solving approach. It has helped not only to stimulate student interest in a subject which many have found rather boring and theoretical, as with most other subjects related to organization of health services, but is also a pointer to the effectiveness of case methods as teaching tools.
