Task-based learning (TBL) offers an effective approach to medical education integration, particularly in clinical settings. This strategy uses real-world medical tasks to guide student learning across diverse clinical attachments.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Integrated teaching and problem-based learning (PBL) face challenges in late-stage medical curricula.
  • Existing solutions like integrated teams or separate PBL time have drawbacks.
  • Task-based learning (TBL) emerges as a preferred alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of Task-based learning (TBL) in an undergraduate medical school.
  • To present TBL as a strategy for integrating learning across clinical attachments.

Main Methods:

  • One medical school implemented TBL.
  • 113 tasks, grouped into 16 sets, were used.
  • Tasks guided student learning during rotations through 10 clinical attachments.

Main Results:

  • TBL provides a trans-disciplinary approach to learning integration.
  • It leverages clinical attachments for rich learning opportunities.
  • Clearly defined learning outcomes and task selection are crucial for TBL effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • TBL integrates learning effectively across diverse clinical disciplines.
  • It supports both integrated and traditional curriculum models.
  • TBL empowers students to integrate knowledge around authentic clinical tasks.
