The objective of this project was to develop and evaluate case-based immunization education materials that use a new teaching method called Multistation Clinical Teaching Scenarios (MCTS) for use in medical school clerkships and primary care residencies.A multidisciplinary team developed objectives, abstracted clinical cases, and created MCTS modules, which use contextual learning, problem solving, and small-group interaction.Mean scores increased from the 10-item pretest to the posttest by 3.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] of 2.8 to 3.6) items for measles, 3.8 (CI = 3.4 to 4.1) for influenza, and 1.8 (CI = 1.4 to 2.1) for hepatitis B (P.01 for each). To evaluate the materials, we administered questionnaires and conducted focus groups. Most (99%) of the students and residents rated the materials highly, as did most (89%) facilitators.This new method has been widely tested, increases content mastery, and is well received. |
