Included are questions, an answer keys, citations for reference articles, and descriptions of how to facilitate and evaluate a team-based learning exercise. This module deals with abdominal pain and mass. The other modules deal with asthma, nutrition, fever, anemia, and pneumonia. These TBL modules have been used on the third-year pediatric clinical clerkship for 1 year as part of the core pediatric curriculum at the University of Michigan Medical School. Faculty and student suggestions for improvements in both the reading material and exercises have been incorporated over the course of the year to enhance the modules. Our analysis indicates that student performance on the NBME examinations and on the clerkship overall has remained consistent after inclusion of TBL into the clerkship curriculum. The pilot trial of this exercise is in the process of being formally evaluated as part of a prospective study comparing team-based learning with lectures. Educational Objectives By the end of the module, the learner will be able to: Identify the risk factors in a history, physical examination, and laboratory work-up that would classify a child as high-risk for an acute surgical abdomen.Describe the pathophysiology, etiologies, clinical presentations, diagnostic testing, and management for gastroenteritis, constipation, appendicitis, intussusception, small bowel obstruction, incarcerated hernia, Meckel's diverticulum, colic, pyloric stenosis, malrotation with midgut volvulus, and necrotizing enterocolitis.Identify the differential diagnosis of abdominal mass in children and how it varies by age.Explain the age-appropriate approach to the evaluation of a child with an abdominal mass.
