My client Nickie joined the Case Report Writing Workshop because she knew she needed to write a case report for her oncology specialization application — and she wanted real guidance and feedback to get through it. She wrote it, submitted it, got accepted with zero required edits, and passed her exam. AND THEN a peer-reviewed journal, Oncology Rehab and Practice, accepted her case report for publication!

In this episode, Nickie joins me to walk through her process from start to finish, in her own words — including where she started (spoiler: "I don't think I want to do this"), the mistake she almost made with her introduction, what the ABPTS application portal actually looks like, and the formatting habit that made all the difference.

We cover:

• Why Nickie, who doesn't consider herself a writer, almost didn't want to start this process at all
• The common mistake of starting with your introduction, and why it should actually come near the end
• What candidates aren't told about the ABPTS application portal — and how that changes how you should outline your case report
• The specific formatting habits that got her accepted in 3 days with zero required edits
• Why multiple readers, including people outside of oncology, made her final draft stronger
• What it took to adapt her case report for journal submission after her ABPTS acceptance

This isn't a promise that everyone who goes through the workshop gets published — that's not the standard, and it's an exciting first for us. But Nickie's story is a real example of what's possible with the right process and support behind you.
