As part of Al-Zahraa College of Medicine's efforts to develop medical teaching methods and enhance student interaction, a Team-Based Learning (TBL) session was organized within the Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) module for third-year students. This session was part of the curriculum lectures but was presented innovatively to promote active learning and effective student participation.
Student Interaction and TBL Methodology
The session was marked by excellent student interaction, with students showing great enthusiasm for participating in the group activities designed to enhance their understanding of clinical pharmacology concepts and their practical applications. The TBL methodology involves dividing students into small teams that work together to solve clinical problems and make appropriate therapeutic decisions, thereby enhancing teamwork and critical thinking skills.
Support from the Dean and Faculty
The session was held under the patronage of the Dean of Al-Zahraa College of Medicine, Assistant Professor Dr. Jawad Ramadan Fadhil, who emphasized the importance of adopting modern educational methods that align with global developments in medical education. The session was also attended by distinguished faculty members who provided support and guidance to students during the activities, contributing to the session's success and the achievement of its educational objectives.
Importance of TBL in Medical Education
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is considered one of the effective methods in medical education, as it enhances cooperation among students and motivates them to take responsibility for their learning. Additionally, TBL helps in developing communication skills and the ability to solve complex clinical problems, which are essential skills for future doctors in their professional practice.
The TBL session in the Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics module represents an important step towards enhancing the quality of medical education at Al-Zahraa College of Medicine. Thanks to the significant support from the dean and faculty, and the positive interaction from students, the session's objectives were successfully achieved, reflecting the college's commitment to graduating distinguished doctors capable of facing future challenges in the medical field.
With these innovative steps, Al-Zahraa College of Medicine continues its leading journey in developing medical education, reinforcing its position as one of the leading medical colleges at the local and regional levels.
