    This medical education course successfully integrated basic sciences with clinical practice for first-year students. Student-led learning and patient interaction enhanced understanding of biochemistry and physiology correlations.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Biochemistry and Physiology Integration

    Background:

    • Traditional medical curricula often present a disconnect between basic sciences and clinical practice.
    • Early exposure to clinical scenarios is crucial for medical student comprehension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a course linking biochemistry and physiology to clinical applications for first-year medical students.
    • To foster independent learning and critical evaluation of scientific literature.

    Main Methods:

    • Incorporated early clinical problem exposure and patient-centered learning.
    • Facilitated joint teaching by basic science and clinical faculty.
    • Gradually shifted course responsibility from faculty to students for a fully student-led experience.

    Main Results:

    • Students successfully managed the entire course presentation, including patient interviews and basic science correlation.
    • Demonstrated effective integration of theoretical knowledge with practical clinical scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • A student-led, integrated curriculum effectively bridges basic science and clinical practice in medical education.
    • This model promotes active learning and enhances students' ability to connect scientific principles with patient care.
