To address this gap, a longitudinal PRS case-based learning (PRS-CBL) curriculum was developed to parallel the pre-clerkship curriculum, with an aim to increase early exposure to PRS concepts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Guided by Medical Council of Canada objectives, PRS faculty and residents co-designed a 5-part case-based learning curriculum: Introduction to PRS, Skin and Soft Tissue Infections, Benign and Malignant Skin Lesions, Hand and Wrist Trauma, and Burns. Each session combined a didactic presentation, clinical case with facilitated discussion, and hands-on workshop. Eligible participants were first- and second-year medical students. Presession and postsession tests were compared using the Mann-Whitney\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">U<\/jats:italic>\n                      test.

Of 453 total registrants, 201 were unique participants, with 41% reporting no prior interest in PRS. Significant improvements in presession versus postsession test scores were observed at each session (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.05), except for session 4.
