【 摘 要 】

Abstract Introduction This team-based learning (TBL) module is a self-contained unit covering the basic and clinical sciences of sleep disorders. It also introduces the topics of electroencephalography (EEG) and epilepsy. Methods The module includes a comprehensive and image-rich reading assignment with a glossary. It is presented to our students near the conclusion of their second year of medical school, as part of our integrated neurosciences course. This TBL module is part of a nine-credit integrated neurosciences course and counts for 1% of the course grade. Results We have presented this TBL to nearly 200 second-year medical students over the last 2 years. The mean individual readiness assurance test score was 89% (range 40-100%) and mean group readiness assurance test score was 99.8% (range 96-100%). Discussion The most important lesson we learned while developing this TBL module was that students really benefited from and appreciated a comprehensive reading assignment from a single source. These can be very difficult to find for second-year medical students. Second-year medical students are expected to know a great deal of basic sciences.
