Developing effective leprosy teaching modules is crucial for medical education in endemic areas. Two distinct modules, Module A and Module B, demonstrated significant improvements in undergraduate medical students

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • A persistent gap exists in effective teaching-learning modules for leprosy, particularly in endemic regions.
  • Existing resources often lack the simplicity and comprehensiveness required for undergraduate medical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a suitable leprosy teaching module for undergraduate medical students.
  • To assess the effectiveness of two distinct module formats (Module A and Module B) in knowledge transfer.

Main Methods:

  • Two different leprosy teaching modules (Module A and Module B) were designed and implemented.
  • Pre-final year MBBS students (VI and VII semesters) were taught using these modules.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration involved Dermatology, Microbiology, Pathology, and Preventive and Social Medicine departments.

Main Results:

  • Both Module A and Module B proved effective in conveying essential information about leprosy.
  • Module A resulted in a 17% increase in post-test scores.
  • Module B led to a 15% increase in post-test scores.

Conclusions:

  • The developed leprosy modules are effective tools for undergraduate medical education.
  • The study highlights the potential for improved leprosy knowledge through structured teaching interventions.
  • Further refinement and broader implementation of such modules are recommended for leprosy-endemic countries.
