A new electronic system enhanced medical education by offering students additional hospital learning opportunities. Students actively used this system, especially before exams, showing its value in problem-based learning curricula.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
  • Clinical Training

Background:

  • Self-directed, problem-based learning (PBL) curricula require diverse clinical experiences.
  • Traditional hospital learning opportunities may not cover the full breadth of medical specialties.
  • A need exists for structured yet flexible access to varied clinical learning activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a system facilitating student access to a wide range of hospital learning experiences.
  • To support students in self-directed, problem-based learning (PBL) curricula.
  • To enhance the breadth of practical training within a hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical units identified available learning activities offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • A centralized, web-based electronic system was created for students to book learning opportunities.
  • The system evolved into a comprehensive timetabling tool for individual bookings and class-wide activities.

    • Main Results:

    • The system provided 1792 hours/week (6 hours/student/week) of additional learning opportunities for 291 students.
    • Bookings spanned all major specialties, including rounds, clinics, theatre/investigation sessions, and conferences.
    • Student usage was high, both on and off-site, and increased significantly before examinations.

    Conclusions:

    • An innovative electronic system was developed to provide relevant clinical experience for PBL curricula.
    • The high student utilization indicates the system's value and acceptance in enhancing clinical education.
    • This approach supports integrative clinical education by broadening student exposure to hospital activities.
