Pressures of time, changing curricula, and increased enrollment in medical schools require the development of more efficient teaching methods to replace or supplement the traditional lecture format. The faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina has developed an individualized course in basic psychiatry which can replace approximately 50 hours of lectures ordinarily delivered to students during the rotation on clinical psychiatry. The individualized course, referred to as the Psychiatry Learning System (PLS), was received by half the class during the year 1973-74, and the lecture course was delivered to the other half. These two groups were compared on several learning outcomes, including attainment of theoretical knowledge about psychiatry, observational skills, interviewing ability, and problem-solving ability. Overall performance ratings by clinical supervisors were also obtained. The PLS group scored no worse on any of the measures but statistically better on half of them than did the lecture group.
