StoneRounds - web-based Inherited Retinal Diseases resource
StoneRounds is a web-based resource (www.stonerounds.org) for improving your knowledge of inherited retinal diseases.
It consists of an atlas of over 300 molecularly-confirmed cases, a “clinic simulator” in which you can pit your diagnostic skills against the computer (and get constructive feedback if you are wrong), some basic tutorials for beginners, and even a section of career advice for physicians and scientists (Success Camp). The case content of StoneRounds also serves as the basis for live, Zoom-based clinical teaching sessions that anyone with an interest in inherited retinal disease is welcome to attend. These teaching sessions are 60-90 minutes in length and are held an average of 4 times per month.
The schedule for the live sessions can be found at: https://stonerounds.org/teaching/schedule. If you create a (free) account on the website you can choose to be reminded about upcoming sessions by email.
