Description

Two 45-hour elective vertical integrated courses offered to year 1 and year 3 medical undergraduates during summer vacation 2012, integrating basic sciences and clinical medicine by organ system. Teaching approaches "consisted of intern, lectures, demonstration and PBL," with lecturers from both basic and clinical disciplines trained in PBL by University of Hong Kong teachers, and course content modeled on curricula from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Shantou University.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Lecturers from different disciplines previously trained by PBL-experienced teachers
• Participants selected with average scores at or above 82 (Grade B)

Constraints

• Offered as elective courses during summer vacation so the normal teaching schedule was not disturbed

Target Learners

• year 1 and year 3 medical undergraduates

Learning Goals

• integrating basic science with clinical medicine
• clinical case analysis

Claims

• Year3 Integrated Course Exam Scores Beat Year1 [+M]
• First-year medical students scored higher in conventional courses than in the integrated courses (78.84 vs 72.84, p<0.05) [-W]
