Abstract

Clinical teaching for medical students and residents has always used assisting tools and methods to facilitate the understanding and the memorizing the most significant clinical skills. This study aims to introduce and assess a new clinical consultation model, Al-Kaabba 3 Cycle Consultation Model, or AlKaabba 3-cycles in medical practice. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted and included ninety-seven medical students at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMISU) were trained using this model. Sixty-six were males while thirty-one were females. SPSS -version 21-was used to analyze the collected data. The vast majority of enrolled students (94; 96.9%) strongly agree that AlKaabba 3-cycles helped them take the patient’s relevant information and felt comfortable using it during their training. Almost all of them agree (96; 99%) that AlKaabba 3-cycles helped them taking the patient's medical history and examination confidently and recommended it to be taught and practiced regularly. Developing and practicing in-house-made teaching tools have good outcomes and help medical students learn and practice. There is a need for further research on the 3-cycles and to encourage more locally developed similar tools.
