Abstract

Background: Case-Based Learning (CBL) is a flexible educational approach that promotes the application of knowledge to real scenarios and enhances practical skills development, particularly in the field of health sciences. CBL helps build deep knowledge and mentally prepare for clinical challenges, adapts well to changes in the way learners access new information, and they become self-learning and creative experts.. Therefore, we conduct a comprehensive overview of teaching using the CBL method in training students in the health-science fields. Objective: To provide an overview of method CBL and its effectiveness. Collecting and processing reference materials: We were searching for many articles related to CBL in teaching students with focusing on the health-care fields, summarized the requirements for CBL, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the implementation process. In addition, information related to the application of CBL and its effectiveness was also mentioned. Conclusion: The CBL method not only helps health-care students improve their academic performance but also encourages their ability to diagnose and analyze medical cases, providing significant benefits for their skill development. Research results also indicated that CBL teaching methods can enhance student’s professionalism and increase confidence in their future roles.
