University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine

Product ID: 18805 |
Abstract:
The activity involves an interactive and cooperative card-sorting exercise that provides an opportunity for participants in a small group to test their knowledge of a group of diagnoses that may have elements of their presentation, diagnosis, and/or treatment that may be closely related or controversial. A good example, illustrated in this activity, is that of cognitive impairment: delirium, depression and dementia.
Educational objectives:
- Given a series of terms (phrases), the student will distinguish between delirium, dementia, and depression by placing the appropriate cards into their designated category.
- The student will sort a series of terms (phrases) into the appropriate categories.
- The student will explain their rationale for placing their cards into the specific categories.

I've used this card sort in several different settings and found it to be effective, educational and entertaining. Even though the authors recommend its use in small groups, I've found that it works well in larger groups too. I've used it twice in a lecture hall with a group of 40 pharmacy students and it kept them engaged and attentive throughout.
