Impact of a case-based collaborative learning curriculum on knowledge and learning preferences of dermatology residents.

Objective: Case-based collaborative learning (CBCL) models that incorporate learner-guided content review, structured preparatory assessment, and interactive case-based classroom sessions have been shown to promote content mastery among medical students. However, limited research has explored the viability of CBCL in resident populations, particularly in dermatology. We therefore sought to investigate the impact of a CBCL curriculum covering complex medical dermatology topics on resident knowledge and learning preferences.
