Abstract:
The case method provides training in problem solving and is useful in clinical education within health professions. The method consumes less teaching resources and might be useful in a situation with increasing numbers of students and staff cuts. As it is a relatively new method within the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lund, a training program for teachers has been established with a short, practical, course. This paper describes the application and introduction of the case method and evaluation of the introductory course by 106 teachers. In this course the case method is introduced and demonstrated. The participants construct cases and take an active part as both students and teachers. Almost everyone was planning to incorporate the case method in their teaching practice, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. To have constructed and led cases themselves was considered a great strength. More time was requested as well as a follow-up session after practically using the case method.
