Popis: Abstract This team-based learning (TBL) exercise presents hematopoietic malignancies of myeloid origin and invites users to consider appropriate methods of treatment utilizing stem cell therapy. The 100-minute session is structured in traditional TBL format, and all components—including the learning objectives, reading assignments, individual Readiness Assurance Test (IRAT), group Readiness Assurance Test (gRAT), and application exercise—are included in this resource. The module has been successfully used in a classroom setting with our first-semester Molecular Fundamentals of Medicine course, consisting of 230 first-year medical students. Historically, the class average for IRAT has been ~85%, and 100% for the GRAT. There has never been an appeal of any RAT question. Based on student course feedback, this TBL has been one of the most popular among 12 modules that we have implemented in our curriculum.
