Implementation of Oral Case Presentations in an Immunology Course

Mo Med. 2018 Jan-Feb;115(1):66-70.

Abstract

Implementation of oral case presentations (OCP) in the Immunology course at A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine has significantly improved written examination scores and student satisfaction with the course by enhancing its clinical relevance. With six faculty facilitators, an average class size of 172 students can complete the exercise in a single day. The exercise requires small group meeting rooms, each equipped with a computer and wall-mounted monitor, but no other physical resources.
