    This independent studies programme (ISP) offers an alternative medical education model. It emphasizes student-led learning with teachers acting as generalist guides, providing a preferred option for some students.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Curriculum Development

    Background:

    • Traditional medical curricula often rely on lecture-laboratory-conference formats.
    • There is a need for alternative educational models in basic medical sciences.
    • Student engagement and learning preferences can vary significantly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of an independent studies programme (ISP) in basic medical sciences.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of this alternative educational model.
    • To discuss the advantages of the ISP compared to traditional formats.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of an ISP involving a learning team of 16 students and a teaching team of 10 medical educators.
    • Teachers functioned as generalist guides, facilitating learning rather than dispensing expert information.

  • Student and teacher roles were redefined within the programme structure.

    • Main Results:

    • The ISP provides a viable alternative to conventional medical education structures.
    • The programme is preferred by a subset of the student population.
    • Key advantages of the ISP model were identified and discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • The independent studies programme (ISP) offers a flexible and student-centered approach to medical education.
    • This model can enhance learning experiences by shifting the teacher's role to that of a facilitator.
    • Further assessment of the ISP's long-term effectiveness and broader applicability is warranted.
