Case-Based Learning and Clinical Teaching Models2

Background

Clinical settings offer rich environments for teaching opportunities. Evidence-based teaching methods and instructional strategies such as reflective practice and clinical reasoning provide value to the educational experience and improve teaching and learning for the preceptor and student and ultimately, patient care outcomes.

This CME activity uses three short video clips on Case-Based Learning and Clinical Teaching models to help improve teaching and learning at your rotation site in consideration of practice time constraints.

Instructional Method

This educational activity is presented in an online, on demand format of three short video clips of clinical teaching models with role playing scenarios.

Video 1: One-Minute Observation

Provides a framework for teaching in the office or emergency room, encourages students to think critically about the case and gives insight into clinical reasoning skills. Highlights the importance of providing feedback on performance to the student.

Video 2: Aunt Minnie Model

Promotes rapid pattern recognition among learners in ambulatory settings, encouraging learners to justify their thinking and exploring what they don’t understand.

Video 3: Microskills Model

Utilizes simple, discrete teaching behaviors or “microskills” as a framework for clinical teaching encounters, enhancing the opportunity for effective learning.

Case-based learning is a teaching model commonly used in clinical teaching where the learner presents a patient case after independently gathering data. It includes:

  • Role modeling
  • Questioning
  • Being an expert consultant
  • Mini lecturing
  • Encouraging self-directed independent learning
  • Assigning directed independent learning

There are no prerequisites for this course.

Assessment

The post-test consist of three reflective questions which assess learning at a higher level beyond knowledge gain. There are no right or wrong answers. Rather the goal is to promote critical exploration of understanding and meaning through active learning Once the assessment activity is completed, participants will be able to download a certificate with credit.
