Abstract

Aims: To establish the best teaching method for medical students and ascertain the students’ preferred method of teaching.

Material and Methods: 30 medical students in were picked randomly and divided into two equal groups. Group 1 received Standard bedside teaching and Group 2 watched an interactive DVD. Each group then undertook a validated OSCE and the examiners were blinded as to which teaching method the students had received. The groups then received the other method of teaching followed by another OSCE. A questionnaire was given to all the students, to assess their satisfaction of the teaching session.

Results:

Conclusion: Interactive teaching method can be a useful technique for teaching medical students, however the students’ preferred method of teaching is standard bedside teaching. Efficiency of knowledge transfer can be improved if interactive teaching is followed by standard bed side teaching but not the other way around.
