Clinical teaching should ideally improve a medical students knowledge and change their behavior in daily practice towards a best clinical practice. There is good evidence to suggest that interactive methods such as team-based learning (TBL) can encourage sustainable knowledge and performance change as well as lead to high satisfaction among participants.

    TBL was proven to promote active learning within a group of students for three reasons. First of all, group work is central to exposing students to and improving their ability to apply course content. Secondly, the greater part of class time is used for this group work. Lastly, TBL involves multiple group tasks that are designed to improve learning and promote the development of self-managed learning groups. However, there are fewer reports of its use in postgraduate medical education. 

    We designed an interactive seminar on "Antibiotics Smart Use" by using a team-based learning approach to evaluate whether it leads to improved behavior change in antibiotics prescribing for URTIs among Interns.

 I wiould like to thank all interns who participated in the study, data collector and the director of Phayao Hospital, Phayao, Thailand. Furthermore, I would like to express my profound gratitude to Dr. Pannathorn Chachvarat, Boromarajonani College of Nursing Phayao, who helped in the analysis of data.
