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.

On this day in 2005 the Lancet published an editorial condemning the Pope-s attitude towards the control of HIV in Africa. The editorial commented on the Pope-s lack of appreciation of African cultural values and his criticism of traditional African practices. The Lancet was critical of the Pope-s apparent inability to see beyond his and the Church-s European values in a non-European setting. The editorial did acknowledge some of the care provided by the Church for HIV sufferers, but the overall tenor of the article hoped for better things to come from the Pope-s successor.
