Abstract
Introduction: In the present system of medical education, knowledge is gained in isolation. Each subject is taught in different blocks with no chances to integrate the knowledge gained. One of the methods of implementing integrated teaching is case based learning (CBL). Material and methods: It was a pre test post test study design. All 150 students were subjected to a set of 20 problem based MCQs as a pre test. One batch of 4th and 6th semester students were taught using CBL. The other batch of 4th and 6th semester was taught the same topic using the conventional method of teaching. Students were then subjected to same set of 20 problem based MCQs as a post test. Feedback was taken from the students regarding effectiveness of CBL. Results: In students subjected to CBL, mean pre test score was 8.50 while mean post test score was 14.64. Mean pre test score of students of conventional teaching group was 8.42 while post test score was 13.28. Though there was statistically significant improvement in post test scores in both the methods, but when compared there was more improvement in scores of students taught with CBL than conventional method. All the students felt that CBL improve their ability of treatment planning. Conclusion: The present study concludes that CBL is more effective teaching method than conventional method. CBL provides opportunities for developing and practicing contextual thinking and clinical collaboration skills.
