Computer case-based reasoning simulation versus traditional lectures for medical interns teaching of diagnosis and antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory infection: a comparative quasi-experimental study
The study found that both computer case-based reasoning simulation and traditional lectures were effective in improving medical interns' knowledge of diagnosis and antibiotic prescribing practices for acute respiratory infections. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two teaching methods. Thus, computer- based simulation could replace face-to-face teaching when this method is impractical or computerized methods are more cost-effective.
