Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Neuroscience Education

Background:

  • Southern Illinois University School of Medicine utilizes a case-based, tutor-group-oriented curriculum.
  • The curriculum integrates basic and clinical sciences across multiple units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and characteristics of the Sensorimotor Systems and Behavior (SSB) unit.
  • To evaluate the integration of basic and clinical sciences within the SSB unit.

Main Methods:

  • The Sensorimotor Systems and Behavior (SSB) unit is an 11.5-week module for first-year medical students.
  • It incorporates tutor-group sessions, laboratory work, self-directed learning, and clinical training.
  • Optional resource sessions supplement the core learning activities.

Main Results:

  • The SSB unit successfully integrates basic sciences (neuroscience, anatomy, physiology, etc.) with clinical neurology.
  • Students gain practical experience in physical and neurological examinations.
  • The curriculum emphasizes self-determination, teamwork, and professionalism.

Conclusions:

  • The resource-session-enhanced curriculum, exemplified by the SSB unit, leads to significant achievement in basic and clinical sciences.
  • It effectively bridges foundational knowledge with practical clinical application for first-year medical students.
