A major problem in the teaching of the preclinical and paraclinical sciences to medical students is that courses are often taught in isolation from the clinical programme and students have difficulty relating the different types of learning experiences. This paper introduces case analysis as a method designed to overcome this problem. The casebook method is popular with students and staff members and is a practical way of encouraging independent and motivated learning in the paraclinical sciences.
