Description

A pilot curriculum for overseas-enrolled Clinical Medicine students in which histology theory teaching was implemented simultaneously with laboratory demonstration, designed to remove the temporal-spatial barrier of the traditional separated format. The content, textbook, examination papers and graders were identical to the traditional course; only delivery differed. It was taught twice weekly in 120-minute sessions totalling 108 hours (54 lecture, 54 practice).
