Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Dermatology Curriculum
Instructional Design

Background:

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a collaborative, student-centred learning strategy.
Conventional PBL in medical education faces resource limitations (faculty, time).
This study explores a modified tutorless PBL for dermatology.

Purpose of the Study:

Compare conventional tutor-facilitated PBL with a modified tutorless PBL.
Evaluate knowledge acquisition and student feedback in dermatology education.
Assess the efficacy of a resource-efficient PBL model.

Main Methods:

Thirty-one fifth-year medical students participated.
Study group (16) used modified tutorless PBL with digital aids.
Control group (15) used conventional tutor-facilitated PBL.
Knowledge assessed via post-test; feedback via Likert scale questionnaire.

Main Results:

No significant statistical differences in post-test scores between groups.
Modified PBL received positive student feedback; students felt comfortable.
Learning objectives were satisfactorily met in both PBL formats.

Conclusions:

Modified tutorless PBL is an effective student-centred learning method for dermatology.
This approach overcomes faculty and time constraints.
It offers a viable alternative for delivering dermatology education.
