To determine the effectiveness of didactic case-based instruction methodology to improve medical student comprehension of common neurological illnesses and neurological emergencies.
Neurology department, academic university.
415 third and fourth year medical students performing a required four week neurology clerkship.
Raw test scores on a 1 hour, 50-item clinical vignette based examination and open-ended questions in a post-clerkship feedback session.
There was a statistically significant improvement in overall test scores (p<0.001).
Didactic teaching sessions have a significant positive impact on neurology student clerkship test score performance and perception of their educational experience. Confirmation of these results across multiple specialties in a multi-center trial is warranted.

学术型大学的神经内科。
415名三、四年级医学生,正在进行为期四周的神经内科必修实习。
基于1小时50道临床病例 vignette 的考试原始成绩,以及实习后反馈环节中的开放式问题。
总体考试成绩有统计学显著提高(p<0.001)。
讲授式教学对神经科实习学生的考试成绩及他们对教育经历的认知有显著积极影响。有必要在多中心试验中对多个专业的这些结果进行验证。
