Medical education has a case-based learning model. Patient treatment; It starts with the right approach. Pre-diagnoses determined by anamnesis and physical examination turn into a correct diagnosis by requesting the right tests and analyzing the test results. Each patient creates a new teaching. With the increase in the number of 'Medical Faculty' in the world and in our country, medical students and newly graduated general practitioners need to access more case teachings. 'Diagnosis Time', ready to meet this need, offers a wide case pool that turns regional case differences into an advantage: 'Brucella' from Erzurum, 'Leishmania' from Şanlıurfa, 'Anthrax' from Romania and 'Diphtheria' from Germany which are common in that region but generally not encountered in other regions, are reported provides medical students and doctors of all regions an opportunity to review. Thus, it aims to contribute to the education of national and international medical students and doctors.
