Description
Summary:A task system for training the medical decision-making skill was applied to the educational process of the Internal Medicine course as part of a pilot study. In order to assess the degree of skill training, the degree of satisfaction of teachers and students and the feasibility of applying these tasks, several methods were used: participant observation, surveys, Iadov’s technique and pedagogical test. The triangulation of the results obtained by these methods allowed demonstrating the usefulness of the tasks system that had been developed, the feasibility of implementing such a system and the desirability of continuing its use in the educational process of Internal Medicine, extending it to other disciplines and subjects of the profession.
