SCORPIO (Structured, Clinical, Objective,
Referenced, Problem Oriented, Integrated, Organized) Learning Module
(recommended by David A. Hill, 1992) was implemented in CME Center during
Perinatal Training Programme, Skopje, Macedonia in June 2000.
The SCORPIO Teaching Session has three phases:
planning, running and evaluation. After process of planning (students,
content, tutors) next step is running it as a teaching / learning method.
Teaching time is 3 hours and the contents are: Preliminary Lecture
(20min.), structured SCORPIO stations (25min/station)and Formative
Assessment (performance-based).In each SCORPIO station, small groups rotate
around(group size 6-8 participants).One tutor is running one particularly
station, trying to promote interactive teaching and avoiding didacticism
and overloading. Whole Program Evaluation is done by informal (anonymous).
Questionnaire which is used for redefining the programme.

evaluation questionnaires) had opportunity to evaluate the SCORPIO
teaching/learning model, were as it follows with the results:
