Validating the effectiveness of a classroom-setting form of early clinical exposure with direct physician involvement in gastrointestinal physiology education.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early clinical exposure (ECE) represents one form of vertical integration that bridges the gap between the early theoretical years and the clinical practicing years in undergraduate medical education. In most medical colleges in China, the complex healthcare system and large-enrollment classes pose significant challenges for implementing ECE in a hospital setting. However, there is a paucity of data comprehensively demonstrating the effectiveness of a classroom-setting form of ECE with direct physician involvement in physiology education.

Methods

181 sophomore clinical medicine students from Harbin Medical University were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (n = 91) and an experimental group (n = 90). The control group received traditional flipped cl
