description | INTRODUCTION: With the constant evolution of science and advancing technology, future physicians must learn to navigate an ever-changing health care environment by continuous learning throughout their professional careers. Lifelong, self-directed learning is a critical component of medical education to ensure future physicians are adept at identifying knowledge gaps and seeking, analyzing, and communicating new information. To train faculty who teach case-based, self-directed learning, we designed the Clumsy Horse Case. METHODS: The Clumsy Horse Case was created as part of a faculty development program for facilitators of a new case-based, self-directed curriculum known as Patient-Centered Education (PaCE) Cases. An unfamiliar veterinary medicine case was designed to level the playing field for faculty from different specialty areas in order to provide an authentic self-directed learning experience. To determine effectiveness, faculty participants completed a standardized eight-question evaluation survey after the Clumsy Horse Case session, and facilitators received student feedback at the end of each semester via a standard faculty evaluation form. RESULTS: Student ratings indicated that faculty were adequately prepared to be effective facilitators. The Clumsy Horse Case was an integral part of facilitator preparation and provided an engaging learning experience for over 60 faculty. Survey ratings and comments from faculty participants indicated a high level of engagement and satisfaction with the learning experience. DISCUSSION: The Clumsy Horse Case is generalizable for developing faculty in any curriculum with a case-based, self-directed learning component. It can be modified to fit any school's curriculum and integrated into a professional development program. |
