Abstract
Research question: Whether Quiz method can serve as an alternative and innovative method to teach “Hospital Waste Mangement” for undergratuate medical students.
Methods: Descriptive study was undertaken among 30 MBBS students in the Department of Commuity medicine, MAPIMS. A series of 4 session by quiz method was conducted to teach ““Hospital Waste Mangement”. There were 3 teams in which 4 students were selected as participants. Pretest and post test was conducted to evaluate their performance and in addition feedback was elicited.
Results: The performance of the students in quiz was encouraging with winner team scoring 90%. The average score in pretest and posttest was 47.14% and 90.71% respectively. The students appreciated the method as it was different from routine lectures, innovative, interesting, interactive, informative, helped them to come prepared and scope for participation. They suggested to have more quiz sessions for other topis as well.
Conclusion: Quiz method was sucessfully used to teach “Hospital Waste Mangement” to under gratuate medical students.
