MCGRAW-HILL NEEDS YOUR INPUT!
McGraw-Hill is developing audio cases based on the well-liked Case Files series, edited by Eugene C. Toy, MD. We plan to create audio cases for each book and to format them like mini-lectures/grand rounds. We are trying to find the "sweet spot" for length of the audio tracks, balancing recording time with an appropriate amount of information in the case. As a result, we have recorded and posted "LONG" and "SHORT" versions of three cases. Your comments about which length is most useful and amount of information conveyed in the cases will help the author and McGraw-Hill create a better product. Click here to listen to the Case File samples.
