Traditional medical education methods, which rely heavily on lectures and textbook study, have come under criticism for their inability to foster the critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and practical skills required to manage complex psychiatric cases. The static nature of these methods fails to replicate the dynamic and unpredictable scenarios of real-world clinical practice, thereby hindering students' preparedness for the multifaceted challenges of psychiatric care However, across various disciplines-particularly in medical and allied health sciences-new methods emphasizing active student participation have gained prominence. One such modern approach in health sciences education is scenario-based learning; grounded in situated learning theory, it brings students closer to the professional realities of their field. This method utilizes scenarios as tools for teaching and learning, enabling students to learn from real-world experiences and apply them in practice.

knowledge and satisfaction
knowledge will be tested using written MCQ exams. Its Cut off point will be 14 out of 20. and satisfaction will be tested through a Likert- scale tool whose psychometrics have been confirmed It consists of 10 questions designed using a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from "very poor" = 1 to "very good" = 5). The scoring range will be 1 to 5, and the minimum acceptable score for the satisfaction level is 4 (equivalent to 75% satisfaction).
Time frame: knowledge will be measured both at baseline, the first day of entering to psychiatry department and at the last day of the psychiatry course. satisfaction will be tested at the last day of the course for average two years.
