This trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of the team-based learning approach on learning outcomes and evaluate satisfaction in comparison to conventional teaching rounds for anesthesiology residents. In this study, the participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the team-based learning (TBL) group (n = 40) and the conventional group (n = 40). Resident performance was measured by a multiple-choice post-class exam immediately after the teaching round. The resident satisfaction was also assessed. Post-class scores in the TBL group were significantly higher compared to the conventional group (80.25±6.79 vs 84.88±6.04, p = 0.002). Additionally, the satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the TBL group (77.75±7.83 vs 83.22±6.65, p = 0.001). This study provides evidence that team-based learning is an effective approach in teaching rounds. The findings of this study suggest that TBL can lead to better learning outcomes and higher levels of resident satisfaction compared to conventional teaching rounds.
