A blended learning approach for teaching thoracic radiology to medical students: a proof-of-concept study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The best way to impart knowledge to medical students is still unclear. Therefore, we designed a blended learning course in thoracic radiology including both "traditional" in-class time as well as online learning modules. The aims were (1) to investigate students' attitudes toward this blended learning approach; and (2) to test whether it improved their knowledge about thoracic radiology.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted at the local medical center; 156 fourth-year medical students completed this study. Before and after the course, students had to complete (1) questionnaires to investigate their attitudes (7-point Likert scale); and (2) an objective test to assess their knowledge (multiple-choice/free text questions; results as % of correct answers).
