Flipping Out! Utilizing an Online Micro-lecture for Asynchronous Learning Within the Acting Internship
1Department of Internal Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, 1200 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA USA.
Background:
The acting (Sub)internship (AI) provides fourth-year medical students the opportunity to gain essential clinical experience, making it challenging to develop an effective curriculum without detracting from clinical time.
Activity:
This flipped classroom, asynchronous learning curriculum utilized a short online video, called a micro-lecture, to teach one to two key concepts, associated with online case-based questions.
Results And Discussion:
Over one academic year, 96% (64/67) of internal medicine AI students at our institution completed the online questions. The majority of students selected the single best response for both questions and preferred this online micro-lecture format over traditional methods.
