Radiology undergraduate curriculum has undergone a tremendous transformation in the decades reflecting a change in the structure, content and delivery of instruction. These changes are not unique to the discipline, but rather a response in the cycle of the re-engineering process in the medical curriculum in order to ensure its proper role into the ever-changing context. Radiology education is n...

BACKGROUND The basic science curricula in medical schools ultimately succeed or fail at the bedside when students must draw on their pre-clerkship experiences as they learn to form nuanced clinical decisions. Given this expectation, learning context becomes as decisive as content in determining students' recall and application. AIMS Using the pre-clerkship medical curriculum at the University...

INTRODUCTION Language and cultural barriers are detriments to quality health care. In acute medical settings, these barriers are more pronounced, which can lead to poor patient outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We implemented a longitudinal Spanish-language immersion curriculum for emergency medicine (EM) resident physicians. This curriculum includes language and cultural instruction, and is in...

Research during general practitioner (GP) training has historically been underrepresented in the medical curriculum. Few GPs in Australia have postgraduate research qualifications and few engage actively in research. The development of an integrated and innovative curriculum at an Australian university provides a unique opportunity to embed research and critical analysis (RCA) at every stage of...

abstract   background and purpose: traditional lecture-based teaching has been long used to transit theoretical knowledge to the participants. due to some problems of this didactic approach, some believe that integration within an active method is more valuable in nursing education. in this study, we hypothesized that integrating lecture-based teaching within clerkship course would enhance nurs...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effect of a "move and learn" curriculum on physical activity (PA) in 3- to 5-year-olds attending a half-day preschool program. METHODS Classrooms were randomized to receive an 8-week move and learn program or complete their usual curriculum. In intervention classes, opportunities for PA were integrated into all aspects of the preschool curriculum, including...

Objectives: Human histology is a discipline concerning the study of microscopic structures of human tissues and organs with the aid of light or electron microscopes. Traditional teaching of histology is composed of two separated components, theory and practice. The main disadvantage with traditional histology teaching is the detachment of theory and practice, so that students could not complete...

Distance learning courses need intensive planning that, in turn, requires the integration of knowledge and expertise in different areas and levels such as curriculum, ICTs and course management. This paper presents an integrated approach for distance learning course planning that derives from pedagogical research the basic directives to integrate the process variables such as curriculum, ICT op...

It is generally acknowledged that an integrated approach to teaching cardiovascular system (CVS) is clinically relevant. However, very little attention has been paid with respect to student perception of teaching CVS in an integrated problem-based curriculum. A questionnaire on the feedback and perception of medical students (n = 60) to their learning experience of CVS exposed early in the prob...
