    During a small group teaching session, the author participated in a group of 5 members that discussed a medical case of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The group split tasks, with some collecting information from patient notes and others interviewing the patient, an elderly Chinese man. The author enjoyed interviewing the patient but found it difficult due to a language barrier and the patient's lethargy. Active participation and lack of domination from group members contributed to a successful discussion. The author learned to be more focused, listen better, ask close-ended questions loudly and clearly when discussing diagnoses with patients.

    JOURNAL – SMALL GROUP TEACHING

    AND EXPERIENTAL LEARNING

    WHAT I DID?

    During my small group teaching, I have experienced


    to be a part of small group consists of 5 members. We
    discussing about one medical case diagnosed URTI
    with old case of COPD. We delegate our task
    accordingly which is 3 person collect the information
    from patient’s case notes and 2 persons interviewing
    the patient. We spent about 25 minutes to complete
    the interviewed.

    WHAT I ENJOYED?

    As a part of small team and be one of the


    interviewers, I really enjoyed taking medical and
    surgical from patient. Since the patient is an old
    Chinese man who does not work anymore, there are
    quite difficult to obtain the history from him. Maybe,
    it due to language problem and patient condition
    which is he looks so lethargic. Anyway, he is nice
    man and very polite to us.
    WHAT I FOUND DIFFICULT?

    We have found difficulty during taking history from


    the patient. We also realize that information from
    patient is difference with doctor who clerked the
    case.

    WHAT REALLY WORKED?

    To me, group discussion with active participate from


    everybody in the group make this discussion
    successful. Everybody is giving their ideas and plays
    their part correctly. Nobody in our group become
    dominator.

    NEXT TIME

    If possible, I would like to have a group discussion


    consists more than 5 members so that we have more
    ideas.

    WHAT I LAERNED?

    From this group teaching and experiential learning, I


    learn to be more focus, alert and become good
    listener. When discuss about this type of diagnosis,
    we have to be careful in using sentences with the
    patient. Speak must be loud and clear; more to close
    questions.
    During discussion, I have learnt to be more active
    and specific in giving points due to insufficient time
    to complete the task. Another part, I also learn to be
    well prepared and organized at any time and any
    where, in case I will be the presenter. Understand the
    case is must.

    QUESTIONS I STILL HAVE

    I have only one question about this small group


    teaching and experiential learning. Can we choose
    the new admission case study rather than old case
    which patient already admitted to ward more than 2
    weeks?
