“…During the 2019–2020 academic years, students were also asked to complete a separate, anonymous Psychiatry-Specific Global Survey after completion of all psychiatry sessions (see Supplemental Material ). This questionnaire was adapted from prior studies with permission from the authors [ 20 ]. Facilitators of the psychiatric portion of the course were also invited to participate in an anonymous Facilitator Curriculum Redesign Survey.…”

Introduction There has been a move to a “flipped classroom” (FC) in medical education. The FC promotes active learning and utilizes independent preparation prior to in-class sessions. Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the FC approach in medical education, specifically via virtual learning. The purpose of this study evaluates student and faculty perceptions of the FC approach and relationships between student engagement and performance. Method The first-year medical student psychiatry curriculum was redesigned with an FC approach and subsequently altered by COVID-19 to a virtual learning environment. A mixed-method approach was used to examine both qualitative assessment and quantitative performance data. Students and facilitators were invited to participate in surveys regarding the curriculum changes. Student performance data was collected via quizzes and examinations. Engagement was evaluated by student participation in National Board of Medical Examiners–style multiple-choice questions delivered via Top Hat®. Correlational analyses were used to evaluate associations between engagement and performance. T -tests were used to compare student satisfaction across 2019 and 2020. Results Performance on in-class questions was positively associated with class rank and performance ( p < 0.005). More students were either satisfied or strongly satisfied (91.5%) in 2020 compared to 85.7% in 2019 (two-tailed t -test, p = 0.04). Most students (81.3%) preferred in-class questions to lectures. In 2020, 62.6% of student comments were positive regarding the psychiatry curriculum vs 33.3% in 2019. Over 61.5% of facilitators felt positive towards the changes. Conclusion Our results demonstrate a positive relationship between engagement and class performance. Students and facilitators positively perceived the approach, with students preferring in-class questions compared to lectures. Future research should evaluate overall performance on standardized tests, third-year clerkships, and number of students matching into psychiatry.
