title: Case-stimulated learning within endocrine physiology lectures: an approach applicable to other disciplines.
abstract: The problem of presenting endocrine physiology lectures in a format that interests medical students was addressed. Incorporating truncated case-stimulated learning sessions into the lectures has proven to be a successful solution to this issue, while also providing continuity between topics in the lecture block. This method of providing a direct clinical link for basic physiological concepts and providing a more active learning experience is adaptable to most basic science disciplines.
