Background: Clinical case vignettes (CCVs) help trainees develop academic writing and conference presentation skills while learning clinical reasoning and diagnostic approaches. For hospitalists, CCVs provide academic meeting involvement, scholarly activity, and mentor relationships. Both groups face submission barriers. Heavy clinical burdens may limit hospitalists writing time, whereas students lack case exposure, clinical knowledge and writing […]
