Foundational and Clinical Science Integration in a Team-Based Learning Module Modeling Care of a Patient With Dyslipidemia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Foundational and clinical science integration, a long-standing goal of undergraduate medical education, benefits learners by promoting retention of critical knowledge and skills as well as their transfer to the clinical setting. We implemented a team-based learning (TBL) module in which foundational knowledge and skills from the disciplines of biochemistry, nutrition, and genetics were leveraged in a simulated patient encounter for diagnosis and management of a patient with dyslipidemia.

Methods

The TBL was deployed in a first-year medical student cardiovascular system course with 125 students over three academic years. Following individual and team readiness assurance tests (iRAT and tRAT, respectively), teams participated in an initial application exercise req
