Utility of Case Reports Covered in Current MLA News

Rebecca Jerome, JMLA co-editor, has authored a piece for the Expert Searching column in this month's MLA News, "When Is the Case Report Useful in Answering Clinical Questions?" The article discusses the benefits and limitations of using case reports to inform clinical care, the important role of case reports in building drug safety and adverse events knowledge, and a new journal dedicated to presenting novel information via case reports.

This informative article is well worth a read. Feel free to leave questions or thoughts on the role of case reports in the comment sections for this post.
