The University of Kentucky revised its medical curriculum for a more interactive Endocrine Physiology course. This new format, featuring staggered sessions and varied activities, was well-received by students.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physiology Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Traditional medical education often relies on passive lecture formats.
  • The University of Kentucky's medical curriculum underwent revision in 1994.
  • The Endocrine Physiology section required a more engaging pedagogical approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a more interactive approach in the Endocrine Physiology section of the Human Function course.
  • To evaluate student reception of a modified curriculum format.

Main Methods:

  • The Endocrine Physiology course was restructured from daily lectures and weekly labs to eight 3.5-hour sessions.
  • Each session incorporated a staggered format over two days: didactic lecture on day one, followed by discussion, quiz, and patient presentation on day two.

  • This approach aimed to enhance material assimilation before interactive components.

    • Main Results:

    • The revised format was favorably received by students.
    • Students appreciated the variety in session components.
    • The new structure facilitated easier material assimilation and keeping pace with the course.

    Conclusions:

    • A staggered, interactive session format can effectively enhance student engagement and learning in medical physiology.
    • Curriculum redesign focusing on varied pedagogical methods leads to positive student feedback.
    • Interactive learning components, following didactic delivery, improve assimilation of complex physiological concepts.
