Clinical Case Log for Medical Students
ClerkView is the structured clinical case log built for medical students in Years 3–5. Log History, Differentials, Investigations and Reflection for every case you clerk — and actually search them later for OSCE preparation and your clinical portfolio. Start a 3-day free trial — no card required. $3.99 / month after.
How ClerkView works
You finish a ward round, see something interesting in clinic, or clerk a patient in A&E. Instead of scribbling on a paper card that disappears into your bag, you open ClerkView, pick the specialty, and walk through four guided sections. The scaffold is inspired by the same clinical textbooks you already use — a structure, not a cage — so logging a case takes a few minutes, not half an hour.
Every entry is searchable from day one. Two months later, when you're revising for an OSCE on chest pain or a long case on bowel obstruction, you can pull up every case you've ever clerked on that presentation, see what you ordered, what you got wrong, and what you reflected on. The cases you logged become your own personalised revision deck.
When portfolio submission deadlines arrive, you export the cases you need to PDF — formatted, dated, and ready to drop into your e-portfolio without re-typing a thing.
Why log every case?
Most clinical learning evaporates within 48 hours of the encounter. The students who come out of clerkships strongest are not the ones who saw the most patients — they are the ones who structured what they saw. Reflective practice and case-based learning are repeatedly shown to outperform passive textbook review for clinical reasoning. ClerkView exists to make that habit one-tap easy, so you actually do it instead of meaning to.
Logging cases also future-proofs your training. Foundation Year applications, specialty portfolios, audit projects, and reference letters all benefit from a longitudinal record of what you've seen and what you've thought about it. ClerkView builds that record passively, in the background, while you focus on the patient in front of you.
Four sections, one discipline
- History — guided scaffold for HPC, past medical history, drug history, family history, social history. Free-text fields with prompts so nothing gets missed.
- Differential Diagnosis — For vs. Against reasoning columns. Force yourself to argue both sides of every plausible diagnosis, the way examiners want you to think.
- Investigations — what you ordered, what came back, and crucially what it meant. The interpretation field is where most of the real learning lives.
- Reflection — what surprised you, what you'd do differently, what you want to read about tonight. The shortest section; often the most valuable.
Built for four core specialties
ClerkView covers the four bedrock clerkship rotations: Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Paediatrics. Each specialty has its own prompts, its own differential frameworks, and its own investigation patterns — because clerking a paediatric fever is not the same skill as clerking a post-op abdomen.
Designed for the way clinical years actually feel
Clinical years are loud. Wards are busy, days are long, and the gap between "I should write that down" and "I'll do it later" is where learning leaks out. ClerkView is intentionally fast: open, log, close. No setup, no fields you have to fill, no friction that makes you put it off until tonight — because tonight, you'll be tired.
An XP and streak system rewards consistency, so logging becomes a daily habit instead of an exam-week panic. A leaderboard lets you keep friendly pace with friends on your year — accountability without the pressure of a graded log.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The 3-day free trial does not require any payment details. You only enter a card if you decide to continue after the trial.
Can I export my cases?
Yes — every logged case can be exported to PDF, formatted for clinical portfolio submission.
Will my cases be private?
Yes. Cases are stored against your account only. ClerkView is for personal learning and portfolio use; nothing is shared without your action.
Does ClerkView replace my clinical e-portfolio?
No — it complements it. ClerkView is for the case-by-case logging and reflection your e-portfolio rarely makes easy, then exports cleanly into whatever portfolio system your medical school uses.
Which years is ClerkView for?
ClerkView is built primarily for clinical-years students (typically Years 3–5 of MBBS / MD programmes). PA students, IMGs revising for clinical exams, and FY1 doctors building portfolios also use it.
Can I use ClerkView on my phone?
Yes. ClerkView is fully responsive and works in any modern mobile browser, so you can log a case on the ward without needing a laptop open.
