Team-Based Learning Is Effective in Teaching Appropriate Utilization of Hemostasis Laboratory Tests Using Storyline Case-Authoring Software.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Team-based learning (TBL) is an effective way to teach medical students a challenging topic: coagulation. This TBL requires students to discuss a differential diagnosis, order and analyze laboratory tests, and decide upon appropriate treatment.

Methods

The coagulation TBL was utilized in a hematology/oncology system-based medical course. The TBL began with Individual and Group Readiness Assurance Tests (IRAT and GRAT, respectively) consisting of the same 10 multiple-choice questions. Next came a team application activity with the goal of evaluating a bleeding patient. Each team was given the clinical case and a whiteboard. Each team recorded a differential diagnosis and chose relevant laboratory tests from 20 hematology/coagulation assays placed in case-authorin
