    • The LPI measures preferences for Abstract, Concrete, Individual, Interpersonal, Student-structured, and Teacher-structured learning.
    • Most allied health and pharmacy students preferred teacher-structured and concrete learning.
    • Significant individual variations from this majority pattern were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The LPI accurately identifies individual learning preferences in health professions education.
    • Adjusting teaching methods and assignments to align with learning preferences can improve student motivation.
    • The LPI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing learning preferences in this population.
