Pharmacology of Sedating and Anesthetic Agents: A Case-Based Flipped Classroom Exercise for Preclinical Medical Students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sedating and anesthetic drugs are widely used in clinical practice; however, relevant teaching remains underrepresented in undergraduate medical education. We developed a 2-hour flipped classroom activity integrating foundational science topics, evidence-based medicine, and clinical reasoning on anesthetic pharmacology for preclinical medical students.

Methods

Presession, second-year medical students reviewed a study guide and completed a readiness assessment. The flipped classroom session was facilitated in a large-group format with learners in small groups. At session end, students completed a consolidation quiz. Two case-relevant questions were included on the midterm and one on the final exam. Student satisfaction was assessed through an anonymous postsessio
