“…We used two main approaches: inclusion of (i) brief, pre-prepared question-and-answer sessions with patients in various sessions throughout the course and a two-hour session that included various elements such as patient participation, patient simulation modalities with high fidelity mannequins for demonstration of upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, a lightening round of interactive cases with questions and answers, and a new activity that is reminiscent of the Patient Oriented Problem Solving (POPS) methodology [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. However, only half of this session was based on the POPS structure.…”

“…The second part of the session included a group activity and a post-quiz. The students learned about four infectious diseases causing diarrhea (Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli , Giardia lamblia , Vibrio cholerae , Clostridium difficile ) during the group activity, which was based on the Patient Oriented Problem Solving (POPS) methodology [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 20 ]. Details of the POPS session are described below.…”

“…We, therefore, decided to include an additional evaluation in the form of a paper survey to assess the reception of the inclusion of patients throughout the GI course along with the inclusion of the patient simulation in the diarrhea session. The authors have used additional paper surveys to assess efficacy of individual interactive sessions before [ 15 , 16 ]. The paper survey was distributed to the students at the end of the diarrhea session.…”

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the need to integrate formal knowledge with clinical experience in the pre-clinical years since the initial years of medical education play an important role in shaping the attitudes of medical students towards medicine and support the development of clinical reasoning. In this study, we describe approaches that involve real patients and patient-simulation-based methodologies to teach gastroenterology to second year medical students. Our goals were to (i) demonstrate bio-psychosocial aspects of clinical practice, (ii) demonstrate commonality of gastrointestinal ailments, and (iii) help understand complex gastroenterology concepts. We used two main approaches including brief, pre-prepared questions and answers discussing with the patients in various sessions throughout the course and a two-hour session that included patient participation, patient simulation modalities with high fidelity mannequins, a lightening round of interactive cases, and a Patient Oriented Problem Solving (POPS) session. The approaches improved the effectiveness of the delivery of the content-heavy, fast-paced GI course and provided opportunities for the students to think about gastroenterology from both basic and clinical points of view. The approaches involved peer teaching, which supports knowledge acquisition and comprehension. Very positive feedback and overall engagement of students suggested that these approaches were well-received.

Learner-centered pedagogical methods that are based on clinical application of basic science concepts through active learning and problem solving are shown to be effective for improving knowledge retention. As the clinical relevance of biochemistry is not always apparent to health-profession students, effective teaching of medical biochemistry should highlight the implications of biochemical concepts in pathology, minimize memorization, and make the concepts memorable for long-term retention. Here, we report the creation and successful implementation of a flipped jigsaw activity that was developed to stimulate interest in learning biochemistry among medical students. The activity combined the elements of a flipped classroom for learning concepts followed by a jigsaw activity to retrieve these concepts by solving clinical cases, answering case-based questions, and creating concept maps. The students' reception of the activity was very positive. They commented that the activity provided them an opportunity to review and synthesize information, helped to gage their learning by applying this information and work with peers. Students' improved performance especially for answering the comprehension-based questions correctly in the postquiz as well as the depth of information included in the postquiz concept maps suggested that the activity helped them to understand how different clinical scenarios develop owing to deviations in basic biochemical pathways. Although this activity was created for medical students, the format of this activity can also be useful for other health-professional students as well as undergraduate and graduate students. © 2018 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 46:343-353, 2018.
