Kashif Ahmad, MBBS, MSc, PhD, MSc (MEdL) (MMEL 2011) co-authored an article titled 鈥淯SA Student Preference for Case Studies: Enhanced Learning in a Human Physiology Course,鈥� which was recently published in Medical Science Educator, a journal of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE).
The article discusses the researchers' survey of current and previous students of physiology. The survey provided evidence of the students鈥� strong preference for inclusion of case studies and related critical thinking activities within the traditional lecture format. Ahmad and his co-authors conclude that small-group activities based upon real cases can assist students to develop understanding of physiology concepts and to promote early and longer-term interest in physiology.
