Development of skills through a realistic clinical case
On January 17, 2024 under the
guidance of Professor S.M. Kabieva an interdisciplinary class on TBL
(Team-Based Learning) was held. One of the main advantages of the TBL method is
the development of critical thinking.
The participants of the session were representatives of the teaching staff of the university, residents: cardiologists, rheumatologists, clinical pharmacologists.
The experts included: O.A. Ponomareva, Head of the Department of Biomedicine, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, N.K. Dyusenbayeva, MD, Professor of the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Evidence-Based Medicine, A.R. Alina, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Internal Medicine, rheumatologist by profession,G.B. Zhiembayeva, Deputy Director of PSSIC Multi-field Regional Children's Hospital, as well as randomly determined 2 representatives from residents.
In the process of working with a real clinical case, residents actively discussed and analyzed different approaches, taking into account all aspects of the problem, they also held reasoned debates, discussed possible diagnoses, therapeutic approaches, and predictions. They learned to assess data reliability and make decisions based on scientific evidence. This allowed participants to understand better the complexity of theoretical knowledge and practical work for future successful professional activity.
An important part of the TBL learning process is feedback from the teachers and the development of individual student skills. At the end of the class, we received feedback that allowed us to understand our strengths and weaknesses and identify areas for further development.
