DIAGNOSIS OF PARASITIC AND/OR BACTERIAL AGENTS BASED ON CLINICAL CASES PROPOSED IN AN INTERDISCIPLINARY WAY IN THE 2ND YEAR OF THE VETERINARY SCIENCE DEGREE
Abstract
During the academic year 2023-24, a Teaching Innovation Project (TIP) was carried out with students of the Veterinary Medicine Faculty of the University of Murcia, who were enrolled in two compulsory subjects of the second year: Microbiology I and Parasitology (both 1st semester, 4.5 ECTS credits). The Problem-Based Learning teaching method was used to integrate the practical knowledge acquired in both subjects. For this purpose, different clinical cases caused by bacterial or parasitic agents of veterinary relevance were presented. The students had to solve these clinical cases by correctly choosing the specific and common diagnostic techniques of both disciplines, thus bringing them closer to the real situation of diagnostic practice on Animal Health.
Participants in this TIP received, on a voluntary basis, a detailed description of a clinical case. As a group, they completed a questionnaire prepared by the teachers specifically for each case, using the "Exams" tool in the Virtual Classroom. At the end of the semester and after the practical sessions of both subjects, the different groups of students had to present the proposed clinical cases to the rest of their classmates in a face-to-face session. Their participation was considered in the evaluation of the two subjects involved and became part of the modulating percentage of their marks. At the end of the proposed TIP, the students completed a satisfaction survey, which allowed the collection of the students' opinions in an anonymous and objective way.
