Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pharmacology
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Undergraduate medical education seeks to equip students with clinical drug application skills.
  • Literature on team-based learning (TBL) in pharmacology is scarce.
  • This study evaluates TBL's effectiveness in a preclinical pharmacology course.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of a team-based learning approach in an undergraduate pharmacology course.
  • To determine if TBL enhances students' ability to apply pharmacological knowledge clinically.
  • To compare TBL outcomes with traditional teaching methods.

Main Methods:

  • An integrated clinical pharmacology course was designed for first-year medical students.
  • Data collected included individual and group session scores and post-course survey responses.

  • Student performance was compared to a previous cohort using nationwide test results.

    • Main Results:

    • Student feedback was generally positive, though preparatory work for individual tests was a concern.
    • Group-level achievement in TBL sessions surpassed individual-level achievement.
    • Low-achieving students showed significant improvement in nationwide tests compared to previous cohorts.

    Conclusions:

    • Team-based learning is a viable method for teaching preclinical pharmacology.
    • Most students engaged actively, irrespective of preparation levels.
    • Low-achieving students appeared to benefit more from TBL in knowledge acquisition.
