The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
The Scientific Method01:32

The Scientific Method

The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method

Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Basic Science Integration
  • Clinical Application

Background:

  • Basic science knowledge retention declines during medical training.
  • Shortened pre-clerkship curricula necessitate innovative approaches for sustained learning.
  • Integrating science into clinical contexts can improve understanding and patient care preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a required post-clerkship Advanced Science Course (ASC).
  • To assess the feasibility and student perceptions of integrating advanced basic and clinical sciences.
  • To reinforce basic science learning in meaningful, practice-relevant ways.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented four required three-week ASCs, combining didactics with clinical placements.
  • Redistributed advanced science content, shortening the pre-clerkship phase.
  • Assessed student knowledge via exams (including NBME CBSE) and course evaluations; evaluated feasibility through faculty/administrative effort and scheduling.

Main Results:

  • The ASC model required approximately 0.4 FTE for course director and 1.4 FTE for staff support.
  • Students showed improved performance on the CBSE, with greater gains in ASC-related content areas.
  • Student satisfaction was high, with strong engagement and perceived integration of science pillars.

Conclusions:

  • A required post-clerkship ASC model is feasible and effective.
  • The curriculum successfully integrates advanced basic science with clinical experiences.
  • This approach supports sustained scientific learning throughout medical education.
