Objectives: IMCAS ALERT: Alert allows you to receive expert advice on complications, cases or procedures in two easy steps. First, simply select the topic in which your case belongs. Then, submit your case anonymously. Your case will then be visible to the IMCAS Academy community of experts for them to answer.
Going through the presented cases and the discussions around each case is a learning experience by itself which enhances the knowledge of physicians and helps in improving the standards of patients care in our field.
