Case-Based Learning in Translational Biomedical Research Education: Providing Realistic and Adaptive Skills for Early-Career Scientists.

ABSTRACT:

Problem

Case-based learning is an established means of educating students in law, business, and medicine; however, this methodology is not often applied to educating translational biomedical researchers. The application of case-based learning to translational biomedical research education allows scholars to actively engage with real-world material and apply their newfound knowledge as it is acquired.

Approach

Through the Mayo Clinic Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCaTS), three courses were delivered in 2009-2017 which emphasized case-based learning in clinical and translational science, entrepreneurship, and individualized medicine. Quantitative measures collected in student course reviews upon course completion were analyzed. Additionally, products arising f
