Background:

Physicians require new strategies for knowledge updates due to rapid changes in technology and medical practice.
Schön's knowing-in-action model was used to design and evaluate an interactive workshop for physician learning.
The workshop aimed to test the feasibility of this model for improving knowledge acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive workshop in enhancing physicians' knowledge acquisition.
To explore the application of Schön's knowing-in-action model in continuing medical education.
To assess physician satisfaction with the educational intervention.

Main Methods:

A longitudinal case study of a hypertensive patient over 15 years was developed from physician charts.

Related Experiment Videos

The case study formed the basis for an interactive educational workshop for physicians.

Knowledge acquisition was assessed using pre- and post-event questionnaires with touch pad technology.

Main Results:

Significant improvement in participants' knowledge scores was observed (average score increased from 5.5 to 8.3 out of 10).
A subset of participants (n=8/37) showed statistically significant gains (p < .05).
Participants reported high satisfaction with the workshop.

Conclusions:

The interactive workshop effectively improved physicians' knowledge of hypertension management.
The approach facilitated reflection on clinical practice and awareness of practice gaps.
This educational model supports physicians in developing adaptive learning and updating strategies.
