Abstract

During typical radiology resident conferences, faculty presents images of a disease at a single juncture followed by relevant teaching points; however, the current generation of learners poses unique challenges given different learning preferences. We thus sought to demonstrate the benefits of a novel interactive case-based learning method following a patient through their disease. Twenty-four trainees completed an interactive glioblastoma module along with pre- and post-surveys. Findings revealed a significant increase of average scores for all knowledge-based questions and confidence levels related to glioblastoma and its treatment. Response was overwhelmingly positive with most considering this teaching method superior to traditional conferences.
