A Novel Platform for Case-Based Learning in the Clinical Endodontics Training: Feasibility Study.
Summary
This study found that the Case Sharing platform enhances case-based learning (CBL) for endodontics residents. The digital approach improved collaborative learning and clinical perspective acquisition.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Digital Health
- Endodontics Training
Background:
- Case-based learning (CBL) is a widely adopted educational strategy in healthcare.
- The Case Sharing platform, a WeChat mini-program, facilitates clinical case recording, discovery, and discussion.
- This research assesses the feasibility of using Case Sharing for CBL in endodontics training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the Case Sharing platform for case-based learning in clinical endodontics.
- To explore resident perceptions of using a digital platform for collaborative medical education.
Main Methods:
- A 4-module case-based learning process was implemented using the Case Sharing platform.
- Participants included 48 endodontics residents from Wuhan University.
- A 12-item electronic questionnaire assessed participant attitudes and experiences.
Main Results:
- Most residents reported positive attitudes towards the Case Sharing platform for CBL.
- Participants valued the collaborative learning experience facilitated by the platform.
- The platform aided in the faster acquisition and understanding of common endodontic diseases.
Conclusions:
- The Case Sharing platform overcomes traditional CBL's spatial and temporal limitations.
- It enables residents to gain diverse clinical perspectives through shared cases.
- The platform's application supports authentic endodontics clinical training.
