Abstract

Clinical attachment is a core element of the medical curriculum. However, hospital is a high-risk area for potential viral infection. There is an urgent need for an innovative teaching method to ensure our medical students can acquire the adequate knowledge and experience needed to become a qualified medical professional, while learning outside the hospital.

Our project aims to facilitate the learning process by ‘Zooming into the Clinical Practice of Urology’. We shall develop 30 case scenarios covering various urological conditions including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary stone. All cases will be adopted from real life scenarios in order to replicate what a doctor will be facing in real life situation. Problem-based learning via the case scenarios will be guided by the supervisors in a step-by-step manner. For example, when we discuss about a case, we will show the medical students a particular investigation result only when a medical student actively asks for it. Visual aids including x-rays and CT scans will be shown where appropriate. Polling questions will be posted regularly to further enhance the engagement and interaction with the students. All case scenarios will be discussed in 6 online sessions using the Zoom software.
