Abstract:

The integration of educational technology in medical education is becoming increasingly popular. Parasitology is a morphologic science that requires visual learning and diversified teaching methods to create an interesting course to students. This presentation aims to: 1) give an orientation on the best practice teaching methods in parasitology which includes both teacher centered and studentsâ?? centered education. 2) throw a beam of light on studentsâ?? perception towards all teaching methods. 3) discuss a focused study that compares and contrasts the best two learning methods from faculty and studentsâ?? opinion. Based on our results, suggestions helpful in the development of the parasitology curriculum were made.
