    Self-instructional materials improve health sciences education efficiency and outcomes on national board exams. These replicable units demonstrate comparable results for students learning on and off campus.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Sciences Education
    • Medical Training Materials

    Background:

    • The Health Sciences Consortium developed self-instructional materials to enhance medical education.
    • The Self-Instructional Materials Project currently manages 350 distributed packages and lists 570 in its directory.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of self-instructional materials in health sciences education.
    • To assess the replicability and exportability of instructional units across different learning environments.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and distribution of replicable instructional units.
    • Published evaluation studies comparing self-instructional materials with traditional methods.
    • Analysis of trends in key activities: training, production, tryout/revision, and sharing over a five-year period.

    Main Results:

    • Published studies indicate improved performance on national board exams.
    • Greater efficiency and time savings compared to other instructional methods.
    • Similar learning outcomes for students using materials at remote hospital sites versus the university.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-instructional materials are effective, efficient, and comparable across diverse learning settings.
    • Key activities for program growth include training, production, revision, and sharing.
    • Future emphasis will shift towards quality control and sharing procedures as training needs decrease.
