Application of the Case Study Method in Medical Education
Reducing the gap between professional opportunities of
graduates of medical education institutions and needs of patients is the
priority of medical education. The introduction of interactive methods, in
particular the case study method, can help solve this problem. The aim of
this study was to investigate how the application of the case method in
medical education affects the learning outcomes of students and
acquisition of practical experience. Case method was used to identify its
impact on the acquisition of practical skills, abilities and clinical
experience by future physicians. Students’ opinions on the effectiveness
of the case method in gaining practical experience were surveyed. The
study showed that the case method helped students find solutions
required by clinical situations, as they used not only theoretical
knowledge, but also acquired practical skills and clinical experience. The
case method also increases students’ confidence in their professional
abilities. This experimental study proved the high efficiency of using the
case method in medical education to gain practical experience by students
in the education institution. It can be useful for scholars and educators
who are looking for, developing and implementing effective teaching
methods that allow students to acquire the necessary competencies
