PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE: Medical undergraduates at St George's, University of London (SGUL) study a weekly clinical case during their clinical science years. Audit of the human stories demonstrated lack of diversity, mono-professionalism, and objectification of some patients. A collaborative partnership with staff, student and patient representation implemented curriculum change, including an inclusive case-writing initiative. We explored whether the reformed written cases supported the development of positive attitudes by sampling perceptions of the cases amongst students. METHODS: Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted (Feb-November 2022) with first year medical students. We applied an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. Verbatim transcripts were coded and analysed to elucidate themes. RESULTS: Four themes were identified: (i) effective learning, (ii) clinical authenticity, (iii) authentic human stories, and (iv) opportunity for rehearsing the role of a doctor. Students perceived the cases as an effective, contextual learning method, with a high degree of clinical authenticity, allowing mentalisation of doctor attitudes and behaviours in relation to patient-centredness, multidisciplinary team working and diversity. CONCLUSION: The results suggest the reformed cases created positive attitudinal change amongst students and supported transition to clinical roles. Memorable human stories had the greatest impact. Dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative case writing initiatives which integrate realism, diversity and multi-professionalism may help to foster positive experiences in students undertaking CBL sessions
