C-BIT: Innovative Medical Teaching Method.pdf

Taipei Medical University developed "Case-Based Integrated Teaching (C-BIT)" to integrate various disciplines in medical education. C-BIT uses core patient cases to introduce major diseases, fostering horizontal and vertical interactions among teachers and active learning in students. The development process involved:

- Selecting major diseases through a collaborative effort of teachers from different disciplines.
- Creating teaching manuals for each disease, including a patient summary, learning objectives, case presentation, questions, teaching guides, and references.
- Expanding case presentation details as students progress through their years, integrating social, humanistic, basic science, and clinical aspects.

Initial evaluation through teacher and student questionnaires showed positive responses:

- Teachers agreed that C-BIT is patient-centered, improves curriculum integration, reduces duplication, and enhances faculty communication.
- Students agreed that C-BIT enhances discussion, integrates the curriculum, and promotes active learning.

C-BIT aims to improve interactions among teachers, integrate teaching content, increase active learning in students, and foster student discussions.
