Abstract

One hundred ten fourth year medical students were blinded and randomized either to traditional lecture group (TL) [n=56] and team-based learning group (TBL) [n=54]. A flipped classroom approach was done for both groups wherein online content with an embedded prequiz questions was given 1 week prior to the face to face meet. An online post quiz was also given to both groups after the face to face meet. For traditional lecture group the student in charge was tasked to give a lecture on the management of acute cholecystitis with a preceptor present. For the TBL group, the student was tasked to perform a TBL session with a preceptor present. Student's pre-test and post test scores where compared. Team-based learning method is significantly more effective in increasing test scores than traditional lecture in surgical case management conferences for fourth year medical students.
