Medici: Case scenarios in clinical medicine
Medici is a sophisticated learning tool developed at the University of Adelaide.
The Medici style of learning and its content have been critically
evaluated and the results of evaluations published
in the international literature. The clinical scenarios encourage the
user to make decisions on diagnosis, investigation and treatment without
putting themselves or the patient at risk.
Medici is a successful part of the formative assessment strategy at the University of Adelaide. If you would like to know more or collaborate with the authors please contact us.

Medical figures
On this day in 2004 Mary Seacole was named as the 'greatest British black woman'. Mary Seacole was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1805. She was known as a 'Doctress', a Caribbean nurse on slave plantations. Mary Seacole learnt her nursing skills from her mother who looked after invalid soldiers at her boarding house. Mary Seacole travelled to England where she offered her services to nurse in the Crimea, but was refused as she was black. She funded her own journey to the Crimea, established a hotel where she cared for wounded officers, and nursed the wounded on the battlefields. She was known as 'Mother Seacole', and was awarded the Crimea Medal.
