From Presentation to Prognosis: Case-Based Learning in Pediatric Bacterial Meningitis for Postgraduate Training

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Pediatric bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Missed diagnoses and treatment delays remain common, and teaching these skills can be challenging because the management requires learners to integrate complex clinical information and make time-sensitive decisions. We developed and evaluated a pediatric bacterial meningitis case-based learning (CBL) module to provide an interactive, evidence-based, and efficient teaching resource. Methods: test. Results: < .001. All facilitators reported reduced preparation time and would facilitate again. Discussion: This module was feasible to implement, highly rated, and improved learner knowledge with perceived behavioral impact. It represents the first open-access CBL resource focused on pediatric meningitis for postgraduate learners, addressing a key curricular gap.
