A TBL module on drug hypersensitivities was developed.Results: A syllabus of the team learning scenario including the different stages of the session was developed. Then, this session was implemented as a training tool for seventeen pharmacy interns. All participants were in favor of using TBL as a training tool, with improved memorization, reflection, interactivity and engagement. They all preferred this educational tool to the lecture course.Conclusion: The positive results we obtained allowed us to highlight the interest of this innovative method as well as the anticipated advantages of its use.
