What do I get with a FREE subscription?

Free subscribers have access to all the Learner’s Guides, which contain sample cases, questions, references to the most relevant literature, and links to online resources.  Almost every reference is linked to its abstract or full text.  Although the Learner’s Guides do not contain the answers to the questions, it is possible to derive your own answers by reading through the references provided.

What do I get with a PAID subscription?

In addition to the Learner’s Guides, paid subscribers have access to the Teacher’s Guides.  Each Teacher’s Guide contains answers to the case-based questions, suggestions for teaching and discussion, and concise summaries of the original articles in the reference list.  Each summary reviews not only the methods and results of the article, but also the strengths and limitations.

A free subscription lasts indefinitely.  A paid subscription lasts one year.
