Description¶
The article proposes that integrating SP and CBL demonstrates synergistic benefits: SP's contextualised communication training combined with CBL's analytical rigour creates an immersive learning environment that elevates comprehensive clinical competence. This hybrid model reduces faculty workload through structured protocols and increases learner satisfaction. The framework is grounded in situated learning theory, cognitive load theory, and competency modelling.
Design Implications¶
