C3 - A Medical Case Method Tutorial

Method: A case method tutorial from Phase 2 of the UNSW medical curriculum

At the University of New South Wales, case method tutorials are offered in years 3/4 (phase 2) of the 6-year undergraduate Medicine program. These tutorials are based on the Harvard Business School model: a detailed, complex, written clinical case is provided, with associated pre-reading and an expectation that students will arrive well prepared; the tutorial is conducted in a shallow, tiered lecture theatre with each student having a prominent name tag; and it comprises four phases, namely "exploration" (in which the specific case details are related in summary by a called-upon student or students), "analysis" (in which specific details are fleshed out, eg. pathophysiology of clinical symptoms and signs, investigations), "prescription" (in which future plans are outlined), and "what have we learnt?" (which is self-explanatory).
  The workshop will explore this novel approach to medical teaching.
