Abstract:
Correlation seminars are used in teaching curricula as a strategy to encourage students to build a solid foundation in basic science at the beginning of the learning process. Establishing a link between basic science and medical practice is the main objective of the correlation seminar which helps students relate topics from basic science with a medical application or disease. Correlation seminars are designated in such a way that students can apply their basic science knowledge acquired from lectures and practical classes in clinical patient care. Course-centred problem-solving emphasises the identification and resolution of clinical issues to enhance clinical reasoning abilities. Through correlation seminars, students are allowed to engage in critical thinking and apply their knowledge of basic science to clinical settings.

Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
