OBJECTIVE: To describe the teaching-learning strategy employed in the module of Survey Methodology for undergraduate medical students at Ziauddin Medical University. SETTING: Medical students of Ziauddin Medical University, Clifton, Karachi. METHODS: The objectives of the Survey Methodology course were developed so that a student would be able to design and conduct a small survey independently. For this purpose the students were required to participate in a census survey of a squatter settlement. The questionnaire for the survey was developed with the students, which included the demographic information of the households. It was discussed and pretested with the medical students. The students edited and entered the data on computer using Epi-Info. They were trained in sampling methods, data collection, data editing and entry through lectures and small group sessions. At the end of the course, students filled the course evaluation form. RESULTS: Out of 117 students who responded, 63% found the course to be useful. Small group sessions were regarded as the most helpful teaching strategy by 91% of the students. Majority (74%) of the students recommended that field visits should be a part of teaching strategy. CONCLUSION: The Survey Methodology course reinforces the importance and practical application of research methods. The students appreciate the course especially the small group sessions and the field visits.
