Team-based learning (TBL) and case-based group discussion (CBGD) show similar effectiveness in medical pathology education. However, TBL may offer greater benefits for students with lower academic performance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Active Learning Strategies
  • Pre-clinical Pathology Curriculum

Background:

  • Team-based learning (TBL) is established in non-medical fields but less studied in medical education.
  • Evaluating active learning's impact on medical student academic performance is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of TBL on Year 2 medical students' academic performance.
  • To compare TBL with traditional case-based group discussion (CBGD) in a pathology curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective crossover study involving 83 Year 2 medical students.
  • Students experienced both TBL and CBGD for 8 pathology modules.
  • Performance was measured by end-of-course examination questions, with analysis of academic quartiles.

Main Results:

  • No overall significant difference in examination performance between TBL and CBGD.
  • Students in the lowest academic quartile performed better with TBL in 4 of 8 modules (P=0.035).
  • Students found peer contributions more helpful in TBL (P=0.003).

Conclusions:

  • TBL and CBGD are equally effective active learning strategies in pre-clinical pathology.
  • TBL may provide additional benefits for lower-performing medical students.
