The NTCC Computerized Cases are multimedia-rich, web-based clinical scenarios. These peer-reviewed clinical simulations are intended to promote self-paced learning, provide interaction and feedback, and create opportunities for students to manage a wide variety of TB-related diseases. Cases are designed to be self-instructional, where all reflective questions are followed by expert answers. These cases are internet-based and run from the NTCC server ONLY. They cannot be downloaded and run locally.
