Aim: This study aims to investigate the comparative effects of the team-based learning methodology against conventional teaching practices on the educational outcomes of nursing students.
Background: The team-based learning instructional strategy represents a significant pedagogical innovation in nursing education. This approach initiates with foundational knowledge, uses predetermined questions for guidance and adopts both intra-group and inter-group dialogues as mechanisms of learning. It accentuates the creativity and pragmatism of students, thereby enhancing their communicative and collaborative competencies. Although this methodology has garnered recognition among nursing education practitioners in recent years, consensus on its pedagogical efficacy remains elusive.
Design: The investigation was structured as a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: In August 2024, a comprehensive search was executed across several databases, including PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, OVID, Scoups and CNKI, to identify studies that satisfied predetermined criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The process entailed screening studies against the criteria, extracting pertinent data and assessing the quality of the studies prior to performing a meta-analysis. The review protocol of this study was prospectively registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42024513238).
Results: From an initial pool of 3191 articles, 29 were selected for meta-analysis following a meticulous screening process. Findings indicated that the team-based learning methodology significantly outperformed traditional teaching approaches in enhancing nursing students' final examination scores and practical skills. Moreover, it was observed to bolster self-directed learning and critical thinking capabilities among students. Nonetheless, the impact of team-based learning on improving problem-solving skills and communication skills warrants additional verification.
Conclusion: The investigation concludes that the team-based learning approach is efficacious in enriching nursing students' theoretical and practical proficiencies, alongside promoting self-directed learning and critical thinking. However, given the constrained number and quality of the studies included, these findings necessitate corroboration through further high-caliber research.

Background And Purpose: Team-based learning (TBL) allows students to safely struggle with the complexity of clinical practice, yet there are few reports describing implementation in United States Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) education. The purpose of this paper is to report the implementation of TBL in a first-year clinical decision-making course within a DPT Program and compare the learning outcomes to a lecture-based teaching model.
Model/method Description And Evaluation: Team-based learning is an evidence-based, active learning technique whereby students complete clearly communicated, preclass assignments and come to class prepared to apply acquired knowledge and solve real-world scenarios in permanent, predetermined work teams.
Tips for Harnessing the Educational Potential of Tumor Boards for Medical Students.

Department of Neurology, Jena University Hospital, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Jena, Germany.
This paper explores the underutilized educational potential of tumor boards as a platform for medical student education. Acknowledging the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of tumor boards, we propose 12 strategic interventions aimed at integrating undergraduate medical students into these meetings to enhance their learning experience. These strategies emphasize active student engagement, critical analysis, patient interaction, reflective practice, and the integration of digital learning tools, with a focus on fostering an in-depth understanding of team-based, patient-focused oncology care.

Our institution utilizes a novel approach of using case-based learning (CBL) as prework for team-based learning (TBL) in preclinical medical education. This study evaluated the relationship between the time spent in CBL and performance on subsequent assessments including TBL performance on the IRAT and TRAT, and exam performance.

Goal: Excessively lengthy wait times for appointments with clinicians are a major source of frustration for patients, and difficulties with access represent a public health problem facing populations across all societies. As delays in care have been associated with inferior outcomes, same-day appointments have been proposed as a patient-centric means of improving healthcare delivery. However, this paradigm represents a radical shift from conventional scheduling tactics, and skepticism has long existed regarding its feasibility and real-world applicability to clinical practice.
