Article Synopsis
- There is growing interest in using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) as a teaching tool in medical courses, particularly for cardiac anatomy and physiology; however, few studies have explored team-based learning (TBL) approaches for this topic.
- This study introduced a novel TBL exercise called Team-Based Learning - Ultrasound (TBL-US) for first-year medical students, comprising phases such as preparation, team readiness, image acquisition, and knowledge assessment, facilitated by trained second-year students.
- Results showed significant improvements in students’ knowledge of cardiac POCUS and cardiovascular content, with enhanced final exam scores for TBL-US participants compared to non-participants, indicating that this method effectively supports learning in preclinical medical education.
