Furthermore، diarrheal diseases are common and important and one of mortality causes in developing countries; moreover، their correct management is important،hence، these items were selected. This Interventional study was implemented for one group with 17 students and compared with another group with 21 students of conventional methods. For this comparison، twoOSCE and MCQ exams wereused. Data was analyzed by SPSS ver. 16 software. In OSCE exam for case group with Independent T-Test P=0. 026، Mean=12. 73، and Standard deviation=2. 15 in in comparison to Mean=11. 02 and Standard deviation=2. 33 in control group were observed. In MCQ exam with Mann-whitney test P=0. 039، Mean=2. 47، and Standard deviation=0. 94 in case group were obtained in comparison with Mean=1. 81 and standard deviation=1. 03 in control group respectively (α= 0. 05) that in two exams results were significant. Therefore، we recommended that this model would be helpful for teaching common and useful issues when time and logistics provided.
