Background:
- Optimizing patient case presentation in morning reports is crucial for resident education.
- The number of cases discussed impacts learning effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the perceived effectiveness of case-based versus conventional morning report methods.
- To evaluate pediatric residents' preferences regarding patient case numbers in morning reports.
Main Methods:
- A survey of 24 pediatric residents at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
